Made of Sand, Shaped by Light
Design Downtown Riyadh 2025
At the inaugural edition of Downtown Design Riyadh, Lasvit presents Made of Sand — a curated exhibition of design lighting inspired by the raw beauty of the Saudi landscape. This presentation explores glassmaking not only as a craft, but as a medium of transformation — shifting between movement and stillness, reflection and light. Visit us at JAX District, May 20–23, at Downtown Dubai Riyadh, the leading fair for contemporary and quality design in the Middle East.
Splash
by Martin Gallo
A sculptural lighting installation by Martin Gallo captures the image of water frozen in motion. It expresses the energy of a single drop — and how it can ripple into something vast.
Magmatic
by Maxim Velčovský
Completing the central installation is a limited series of Magmatic vases by Lasvit’s Creative Director, Maxim Velčovský. The series references the origin of glass itself: when fire, heat and sand converge.
Grain of Sand
by Jana Růžičková
This mirrored glass object by Jana Růžičková is inspired by the desert as a constantly shifting landscape, the piece invites quiet reflection on time, erosion, and the precision of glassmaking.
Lighting the Way in Regional Design
Lasvit is the brand of choice for clients seeking originality, precision, and lasting value in every detail. We are proud to contribute to some of the most distinctive design lighting projects across the Middle East and around the world — from private residences to world-class hospitality spaces. In Saudi Arabia, our work includes Al Faisaliah Mandarin Oriental or Al Azizia Mosque in Mecca.
