The Button

ABOUT THE PRODUCT

design: Jakub Berdych Karpelis, 2025
limited edition of 100 pieces
Dimensions: 7 x 15 cm
material: pressed glass, metal
 
hanger / glass wall decoration 
The Button is a glass hanging object that can be used as a coat rack or as an interior wall decoration. The author of this limited edition glass object, Jakub Berdych Karpelis, recommends installing The Button in multiple pieces. They can be made into compositions or used in a purely practical way: one for a coat, one for a handbag, another for decoration, as an artdesign piece...
 
The Button was created by upcycling pressed glass components originally intended for chandeliers from Kamenický Šenov and/or as vases. These were transformed by the designer by shortening the original shape, adding metal threads and plating to give them a rainbow of colours. The limited series was created in a number of 100 pieces. The packaging of each piece includes a thread, a dowel and a screw.

ABOUT THE BRAND

The Qubus brand was founded in 2002 by Jakub Berdych Karpelis together with Maxim Velčovský and in the same year they opened the eponymous design shop in Prague's Old Town as the first ever design shop in the Czech Republic. The main idea and motivation of Qubus is to design, produce and present Czech contemporary and conceptual design with wit and unconventionality. A number of now iconic design products, collections and works have been created under the Qubus brand and the Qubus brand, the first on the market at the time, has become one of the most popular design studios in the Czech Republic in its 23 years of operation. Qubus products are characterized by their humour and search for new meanings and contexts.

Qubus designers most often work with traditional Czech materials - glass or porcelain, and their hallmark is a humorous play with morphology and function. Central European sarcasm meets commentary on the world around us in Qubus products. They respond to lifestyles, mirror prejudices and reflect cultural and social themes and trends.

Among the products in the Qubus portfolio, we find luxury and everyday pieces that shape taste and push its boundaries. In addition to conceptual and product design, the studio also executes interior design, architecture and free art projects by Jakub Berdych Karpelis and other artists it invites to collaborate.
