SkLO

“Sklo” is the Czech word for “glass”. The heart of all the SkLO collections, and of all the work we do, is hand blown Czech glass.


The company produces three collections: SkLO: LIT, SkLO: OBJECT and SkLO: PROJECT:
- SkLO: LIT is our collection of lighting. In addition to using hand-blown Czech glass in all our SkLO: LIT constructions, SkLO lighting is made to order from quality materials by craftsmen. SkLO: LIT coverage is collected in California in SkLO US with UL listing in North America, and in the Czech Republic in SkLO EU with CE and other global certificates available.
- SkLO: OBJECT is our collection of accessories, vessels, sculptures and wall objects made of Czech glass blown by hand.
- SkLO: PROJECT - this is individual work, custom lighting, installations and sculptures.

SkLO is a design and manufacturing company located in California (SkLO US) and the Czech Republic (SkLO EU).

The company was founded in 2009 by a team of designers husband and wife Karen Gilbert and Paul Pavlak, as well as brothers Pavel and Peter Ganusekom.

Karen Gilbert is an American artisan, metalworker and jeweler. As a design director, Karen gives an intuitive insight into crafts and creation. Her practical nature and her own technical skills as an artisan provide a vision of the collections. In her work, leading the design and creation of prototype collections, her process varies from drawing to painting to metal making.

Paul Pavlak is an American architect and designer. He brings faith in the honesty of the material, the expression of the process and simplicity. At SkLO, in collaboration with his wife and design colleague Karen Gilbert, he works on improving and editing many ideas, provides technical documentation and attention to detail. It also provides a vision of the graphic design and appearance of the SkLO brand.
