THREE INSTALLATIONS. THREE MEMORIES.
The objects work independently and as a whole. A wall object, a table representing an original used design, but also an object representing free art and creation.
She brought three unique objects to Collectible. Each of them is different, each of them represents Elis's different approach to creation and materials. However, all three are united by one thought and memory. And that memory of summer, the summer rays and shadows that each of us likes to observe.

FORESTER GLASSWARE COLLECTION
Inspiration from the book "Lesák" and an adventurous journey through the Pyrenees inevitably merged into the shape of the shots, cast from a piece of cork wood found on this very path.
"Just as the woodsman wandered through the Czech groves, I too became a pilgrim in my own novel. A piece of wood that has travelled with me through the Pyrenees can now travel to you. And pass on the never-ending thirst for adventure."
