Ingrid Račková and David Suchopárek are a prominent artistic duo in contemporary Czech glass art, working under IRDS Studio, founded in 2001. Educated at the University of Applied Arts in Prague, Ingrid Račková trained at the Glass Studio of Professor Vladimír Kopecký, while David Suchopárek studied at the Glass in Architecture Studio of Professor Marian Karel. Their practice is defined by a rigorous commitment to geometry, precision, and conceptual coherence, elevating glass into a medium of architectural and intellectual expression.
Their sculptures, executed in optical glass, are characterized by disciplined, often pyramidal forms in which light becomes an active structural element. Through controlled geometry and meticulous craftsmanship, their works explore the transformation and concentration of thought—ideas shaped, redirected, and intensified within the material itself. Positioned between analytical abstraction and poetic presence, their practice occupies a distinctive place within collectible contemporary glass art.
Arkenstone exemplifies this sculptural language. It is assembled from four cut relief components in pink, tanzanite, turquoise and light green shades. The multiple combination of lights, colors and lines shines with its inner beauty just like the legendary Heart of the Mountain.
