Studio Dechem was established in Prague in 2012 by Michaela Tomiskova and Jakub Jandourek.  They first met at the Novy Bor School of Glass, where they both fell in love with glass - the earliest synthesized material in human history.  While Michaela went on to study product design at AAAD Prague (Academy of Arts Prague) and later worked for several acclaimed design studios, Jakub continued to hone his skills in the lighting industry, specializing in glass workmanship, technology, and manufacturing.  Since establishing Studio Dechem they have focused on product design and maintained a special attention to glass.
