The new artistic design of the Českomoravská metro station draws inspiration from the motif of air — an invisible element whose movement is inseparably linked to the metro environment. This characteristic feature of the underground space is translated into a glass structure that becomes the defining visual element of the station.
Air is captured between two layers of handcrafted fused glass, creating a distinctive pattern of bubbles. Their distribution occurs naturally during the manufacturing process, making each panel a unique original.
The design builds naturally on both the architecture of the station and the artistic tradition of the Prague Metro. Rather than introducing a radical transformation, it carefully evolves the original character of the space. While the glass cladding preserves the simplicity and rhythm of the original design, the trapped air imbues it with depth, texture, and a dynamic quality.
An invisible element that accompanies the movement of millions of passengers beneath the city thus becomes a material of the architecture itself. What usually goes unnoticed now defines the atmosphere of the space, transforming an everyday journey into a new visual experience.
