Sans Souci, a leading Czech glass and lighting design studio, proudly presents the Vitara Collection; a striking new series launched at Euroluce 2025, part of Salone del Mobile. Inspired by Prague’s gilded skyline and the grandeur of Gothic architecture, Vitara redefines luxury lighting with soaring forms, radiant finishes, and artistic precision. Rooted in architectural elegance, the Vitara Collection translates the vertical poetry of cathedral arches into sculptural lighting. Each piece is crafted from hand-blown glass and finished with Sans Souci’s proprietary Aurum nanocoating, which captures light in rich, golden tones; evoking the way the setting sun lingers on the facades of Prague’s historic buildings. The collection includes dramatic pendant installations designed to become the focal point of high-ceilinged spaces, from private residences to hospitality interiors. The warm, reflective surfaces not only enhance ambient light but also add depth and visual intrigue, making every fixture a conversation piece. More than just lighting, Vitara is an invitation to reimagine space through the lens of craftsmanship and culture. With its refined design language and technical finesse, the collection embodies Sans Souci’s commitment to innovation rooted in heritage. With the Vitara Collection, Sans Souci elevates lighting into a transformative experience; where architecture, light, and memory converge to shape truly timeless interiors.
