How Brokis Collections Shape Architectural Lighting
Premium lighting has moved beyond decorative use. Premium lighting now forms part of architectural concepts by defining mood, volume and spatial rhythm. The year 2025 brought important developments for Czech brand Brokis: Salone del Mobile and international design exhibitions introduced collections shaped by modularity, scalability, material sensitivity and sustainability. Antonovych Home experts, creative designer Svetlana Antonovych and showroom director and premium furniture expert Dmitry Korotchuk, explain the technology behind these collections and their role in premium projects.
New Formats: Mini Collections for Changing Spaces
In 2025, Brokis expanded several key collections, including Planets and Night Birds, with compact versions named Planets Mini and Night Birds Mini. Vrtiška & Žák designed Planets Mini, while Boris Klimek designed Night Birds Mini. The miniatures retain the visual language of the original collections while offering flexibility for small rooms and complex lighting compositions.
Why the format matters to architects:
, 62% of contemporary residential and commercial interiors contain mixed-use zones that require flexible lighting strategies;
, mini versions create focused compositions without losing visual impact.
Svetlana Antonovych:
«The mini format means more than a smaller size. The mini format brings premium design into more delicate architectural settings, where scale and ceiling height require different decisions.»
Mini formats respond to denser development and the growing need for multifunctional rooms.
Comet and Under Pressure: Architectural Drama Through Form and Structure
Comet, designed by Simona Sbordone, and Under Pressure, designed by Boris Klimek & Lenka Damová, ranked among the central premieres of 2025. Comet places light inside multilayered laminated forms. Sand particles inside the glass create a stardust effect that diffuses light softly. Under Pressure explores material tension through deformed glass that combines fragility with monumentality.
Why the collections matter to interior designers:
, Comet can anchor a composition, draw attention upward and create a vertical accent;
, Under Pressure suits industrial or constructivist interiors where glass represents architectural materiality.
Dmitry Korotchuk:
«These collections show that a light fixture can serve as more than a light source. A light fixture can also act as an architectural marker that shapes visual axes and emotional focal points.»
New Colours and Materials: Material as the Language of an Interior
Brokis expanded the colours and materials used across its collections. New green tones include transparent olive and opaline pearl, while additional BROKISGLASS textures are available for collections such as Starcloud, Capsula, Bonbori and Memory.
Why the development matters to architects:
78% of contemporary premium projects use material as a visual link between surfaces. Lighting with coordinated colours and textures reinforces the overall artistic concept.
Svetlana Antonovych:
«We aim to use materials that respond to the interior palette. The colour of the light and the colour of the fixture material should work together rather than conflict.»
Movement and Scale: From Fixed Fixtures to Modular Systems
Brokis collections such as Starcloud and Planets offer modular systems that can form compositions at different scales, from a single fixture to complex grouped installations.
Why modularity matters in architectural lighting:
, modularity adapts lighting to different tasks, including zoning, accents and visual effects;
, moving elements through space controls rhythm and depth.
Dmitry Korotchuk:
«Modular systems function as an architectural grid of light. We design the grid alongside the layout and finishes.»
Anniversary and Cultural Releases: Muffins and BLEND
The year 2025 marked the 15th anniversary of Muffins, one of Brokis's most recognised collections. Lucie Koldová originally created the collection. The special anniversary version uses Italian travertine and demonstrates a connection between tradition and contemporary design.
At Designblok 2025, Brokis also presented the BLEND installation. The installation showed the development of the brand's lighting solutions from the beginning to the present.
Why the releases matter:
, established collections trace the historical development of lighting design and show how time-tested elements work in contemporary spaces;
, established collections inspire projects where history meets innovation.
Event and Installation Design: Light as a Place Marker
Projects such as the installation by British designer Lee Broom demonstrate how lighting can shape public space, interact with architecture and express cultural codes. Brokis participated in the Lee Broom project for London Design Festival.
Why the approach matters:
, event architecture shows that light can be functional and symbolic, connecting space with history and cultural context;
, event projects extend designer lighting beyond homes and interior settings.
Svetlana Antonovych:
«Light can act as an architectural marker and create a memorable emotional effect. The effect matters in private interiors, public spaces and lobbies of premium properties.»
Conclusion:
The latest Brokis collections, including Comet, Under Pressure, Planets Mini, Night Birds Mini and anniversary versions of Muffins, show how lighting is becoming an active part of architectural concepts. Lighting functions as a tool for shaping space, from an emotional focal point in a living room to an accent marker in a hall or public area.
Svetlana Antonovych: «Light is architecture without walls. Light defines the volume, movement and mood of a space.»
Dmitry Korotchuk: «Professional lighting forms part of the project strategy. Professional lighting should be planned alongside materials, proportions and client expectations.»
