Strength and Fragility in Perfect Balance
The Magnus Collection by Moser reinterprets the powerful language of brutalism through the refinement of handcrafted crystal. Designed by Jan Plecháč, renowned designer and Art Director at Moser, the collection reflects his deep appreciation for the architectural clarity and raw expressiveness of brutalist forms.
Magnus merges a bold, straightforward aesthetic with an unexpected and uncommon colouring, creating pieces that radiate both strength and fragility. The result is a sculptural object that challenges traditional perceptions of glass, solid yet luminous, monumental yet delicate.
Design Philosophy
Inspired by the renewed interest in brutalism, Plecháč translated architectural mass and geometry into crystal form. Clean lines and structured volumes are softened by the transparency and brilliance of Moser’s lead-free crystal, producing a compelling visual contrast.
The distinctive colour palette enhances the collection’s character, reinforcing the dialogue between robustness and lightness.
Craftsmanship Without Compromise
Each Magnus vase is entirely handmade by Moser’s master glassmakers. From shaping molten crystal to executing the precise cutting and finishing, every step reflects exceptional technical mastery and artistic control.
The Magnus Collection pushes the boundaries of glassmaking, transforming architectural inspiration into timeless crystal art.
