Ajeto Glassworks

The Ajeto glassworks with its official fourteen years history is a relative newcomer to the heartland of Bohemian glassmaking region famed and renowned for many passed centuries. Right from it’s very beginnings, Ajeto is a place from where exquisite glass creations reach out to the world of art and design, now for well over ten years.
The phenomenon of Ajeto unique style and international renown, was conjured up by the unique trio of Borek Sipek, Petr Novotny and Libor Fafala, during the era before the veil Iron Curtain was torn down in the Czechoslovak Velvet revolution of 1989.
In 1994 , the Ajeto glassworks has moved to its current location – Lindava, a humble little village tucked-away in the hilly landscape of the Northern Bohemian forests. Lindava with about 450 inhabitants, has since moved on from a place barely known by the average Czech native, to become a location visited and loved by many a renowned glass craftsmen and artists, as well as celebrities from other walks of life, designers, architects, fashion designers, performing artists, musicians, actors, film directors - masters of trades and arts of all kinds. The dream of Ajeto only truly materialised when its current Lindava incarnation was raised out of the ruins of a once famous German textiles factory that fell into disuse during the long rein of Czechoslovak totalitarian establishment. The factory came back to life during autumn of 1994, architected in Borek Sipek’s unique style.
Through Ajeto the little place Lindava has become a mixing-pot of world cultures, nations, arts and crafts, its repute reaching far beyond the borders of the Czech Republic, beyond Europe. It is a place sought by cream of the world glass art crop.
Borek Sipek as the art-director has been challenging the glass craftsmen and technologists with his ideas since the very birth of Ajeto. The realisation of Borek’s designs has only been possible thanks to Petr Novotny’s world-renown hot-glass artisanship, and Libor Fafala’s unequalled skills in all facets of glass manufacture technology. The relentless push for more intricate, complex and awe-inspiring designs continues to drive the glassmaking skills and technologies to an art-form of its own.
Ajeto has grown to become a place where the ideas of Borek Sipek as well as many other designers and artists come to life.
