Milan Pekar

Known for his innovative use of crystalline glazes on his ceramics and decorative vases, ceramicist Milan Pekar works in an enigmatic, experimental style that results in artistic, modern and practical furniture and objects.

Born in 1980 in Prague, Pekar studied ceramics and porcelain at the city’s Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design (AAAD) and earned his MFA in 2006. He also studied at the University of Art and Design in Helsinki, Finland in 2005. Since 2011, Pekar has worked as an assistant professor in the studio of ceramics and porcelain at AAAD.

In 2009, Pekar established his studio — Milan Pekar Studio — in Prague. For the past several years, his work has focused primarily on the development of specialized crystalline glazes in which crystals grow in constellations and clusters on ceramic surfaces. Although the process is not new, Pekar’s forward-looking design sensibility and use of unique color combinations in his porcelain urns, candle holders and other decorative objects truly distinguishes his work in the very crowded field of ceramics.

In addition to his vases, Pekar creates ceramic furniture “shaped from soft extruded profiles.” Described as a cross between sculpture and furniture, Pekar’s collection includes his quirky ceramic floor lamps and table lamps and tube-like stools which can double as side tables. Pekar has also collaborated with several designers to create his cabinets and dry bars. These pieces include the exotic wood and ceramic mosaic Gradient cabinet, which he designed with cabinet maker Jakub Vávra, and the multicolored Cabinet of Curiosities, which was created with Vávra and painter Lucie Jindrák Skrivánkova.

Pekar’s works have been exhibited internationally at galleries and museums throughout Europe and Asia. His pieces are also included in public collections at the Museum of Decorative Arts, the Grassi Museum and the Museum of Decorative Arts.
