We are proud to share exciting news – glass art pieces created in the Glassremis studio have once again reached one of the world’s most important centers of culture and design: the Maison & Objet exhibition in Paris. Every year, this exhibition attracts significant international media attention and gathers design professionals from around the world, setting trends in interior design and contemporary art.
This year’s (2026 January edition) Maison & Objet theme, “Past Reveals Future,” invited visitors to view design as a connection between tradition, craftsmanship, and contemporary creativity. The exhibition highlighted materials, handmade artistry, sustainability, and works where history meets innovation – values that are also deeply rooted in the creative philosophy of Glassremis. This marks another important step forward not only for the artist himself, but also for the entire Lithuanian glass art community.
A personal journey of glass art from Lithuania to the world
Every glass artwork created in the Glassremis studio carries its own story. This is not mass production – it is handmade glass art shaped by years of experience, experimentation, and emotion. For many years, Remigijus Kriukas has been creating unique glass objects that become not only interior design elements, but also expressive works of art. Participating in international exhibitions such as this one in Paris is a natural continuation of this creative journey.
This year, Remigijus introduced the new “Ice Age” series, expanding the artist’s already well-known glass art collections. The new works reveal organic forms, textured surfaces, and an aesthetic inspired by fragility and the transformation of nature. Combinations of transparent glass create impressions of depth, light, and frozen time, while each object preserves the artist’s distinctive handmade glass character.
Glass Art in Paris: recognition and connections
During his stay in Paris, Remigijus also met with the Lithuanian Ambassador to France, Arnoldas Pranckevičius, and commercial attaché Neringa Greičiūtė. Meetings like these are important not only as symbolic recognition but also as opportunities to expand the visibility of Lithuanian glass art in the international market. For us, this is yet another confirmation that the glass art created at the Glassremis studio is seen and appreciated worldwide.

Why is glass art becoming so popular?
In recent years, more and more people have been searching for distinctive glass handmade art for projects both in Lithuania and abroad. Glass art stands out due to a few reasons:
every piece is unique and handmade
glass offers exceptional aesthetic qualities such as transparency and light reflection
art and functionality are combined – from glass sculptures to expressive lighting pieces
glass art naturally becomes a focal point within an interior space
The glass objects created at the Glassremis studio fit beautifully into both modern and classic interiors – from sculptural accents to decorative design elements.
Glassremis – an ambassador of Lithuanian glass art
Our goal is not only to create, but also to share the tradition of Lithuanian glass art with the world. Participation in international exhibitions, collaborations with designers and architects, and custom-made projects allow us to continue growing and evolving. Paris is just another stop on this journey – and we certainly do not plan to stop here.
