A gallery that pampers all your senses
The praguekabinet gallery located in the heart of Prague and focused on art and design provides a unique experience to all your senses. Visual ones come in the first place of course. It starts already out there once you look inside of it through the window, where the manager of the gallery Gabriela Pecičová regularly changes intriguing showcase of beautiful vases, hand-blown Venini branded glass from Murano island, porcelain figurines from Munich based Nymphenburg manufactory or silver plated candlesticks from a Parisian sculptor Arik Levy and porcelain jars from the famous Italian brand Fornasetti. Looking through the window reveals a lot of other attractions. An arrangement of well-known decorative plates grabs your attention being placed right on the central wall. These show endless variations of Lina Cavalieri’s face, who being an opera singer became the inspirational muse for Pierre Fornasetti. Now you cannot help looking left and right, and this comes as absolutely no surprise, as there are remarkable art and design objects carefully arranged everywhere. The only thing to do at this point is immersing into this magnificent interior, designed by Ivanka Kowalski, and just enjoying the exclusive selection of interior accessories, paintings, furniture and sculptures created by different Czech and foreign authors.
Once you enter the gallery, you immediately tune into the sounds of pleasant music and your olfactory cells get marvelously pampered by aroma-candles that also come from Fornasetti manufactory. By the way these could also serve as a nice detail completing your home interiors. Although touching some of the objects exposed here is not recommended (such as glass sculptures of Franz Vízner’s work – friendly staff will most probably ask you to use white gloves), nevertheless, your sense of touch will come across some quite unique experiences as well. For example a collection of luxurious kimonos made of fine silk definitely calls for your touch. Created for praguekabinet by a young but already very successful Slovak fashion designer Miro Sabo, who now lives and works in Prague, these kimonos give you an incredible sensation once you try them on. You can check out whether one of these suits you in any of several mirrors that come from studios of various artists, whose works are proudly represented by praguekabinet. You can see a spectacular kaleidoscope of reflections sourcing from polished metal sculptures made by Arik Levy, all everywhere on the walls. Here is also a unique place where you can get one of his very creative glass candleholders named Mistic, designed for Istanbul based Gaia & Gino brand. It will serve you as a vase with the same elegance. Anyways, imagination has no limits, of course, so you can arrange candles and flowers into it at the same time for example.
And if you like using flowers and decorative plants in the interiors, this gallery has much more to offer. For example wonderful vases from the world's leading masters, Venetian Murano island glass blowers, who make true hand blown glass using unique techniques that are still kept in secret, even today. In the case of these vases – just like with other pieces from this gallery – the truth is that as a result of a fascinating symbiosis of artistic talent and quality craft these items have a very high value from arts perspective. Owning something that beautiful with such a unique added value or giving it as a present… What else could someone wish? Unique items in praguekabinet move your soul, please your eye and invite you to touch them… They can enrich your interior design, your collection and thus your life as well. And this for a very long time, as their value is timeless.
