The porcelain lighting solutions from design studio Streit – Polák captivated us. The exhibition was so comprehensive that we initially intended to nominate only works from this studio. The uniform studio task and prescribed product material made it seem as if the works were the creation of one or two authors. The differences, however, became apparent in more detailed exploration and discovery of the sources of inspiration. Most of the lamps were only in white colour, which was unfortunate because porcelain allows the use of a whole range colours, decorations, textures and exploration and experimentation with surfaces. It was clear though that the students had focused more on mastering new technology and pure design than finding non-traditional positions. Furthermore, it is difficult for a newcomer to express themselves with porcelain when they devote so much of the design process to designing the shape that the manufacturing process allows. Despite this, the entire jury was overwhelmed by the number of good quality and experimental lighting fixtures. The positive impression of well-executed work boosted the pleasance of the studio’s exhibit.
