about us

Designed  and made by people

Design is only a small part of the journey. Every lighting fixture we create carries the very breath of the glassmakers—shaped in the intense heat of the furnaces through raw human mastery and physical dedication.

Process meaning design with respect...

For us, the process means designing with profound respect. We do not seek to bind light; we touch it gently, treating it as an equal partner.

Everything we do stems from respect—respect for the light, the material, and the technology. Every TY O piece is thoughtfully designed and meticulously crafted in the Czech Republic.

The name „TY O" (tee yoh) is a clever pun on a colloquial Czech phrase used to express genuine surprise, awe, and appreciation.

Tomas is the founder and lead designer of the TY O project. Beginning his career in graphic design, he gradually channeled his vision into glass and metal. Today, his focus lies primarily at the intersection of lighting and contemporary furniture design.
