The current number one film globally on Netflix is Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.
Rian Johnson’s big budget movie stars such names as Daniel Craig and Kate Hudson – and a large number of Czech-made crystal sculptures.
They are the work of the company Pačinek Glass, which is based in Kunratice u Cvikova in North Bohemia.
Founder and master glass maker Jiří Pačinek says collaboration began when the film’s producers came across the name after entering “Czech glass” in a Google search.
It was a demanding commission, with 60 or so pieces – originals and copies – having to be completed in around a month.
“It was huge order, and very prestigious. Also for me as a glass maker it was a major challenge, because they were beautiful objects.
"And it’s not every day that you work for Hollywood.
"The film’s art director, John Dexter, designed the pieces and he came to our workshop and worked alongside us.”
Jiří Pačinek describes their collaboration.
“He came in person and brought with him lots of 1:1 pictures and various 3D images, from different sides, so that I would get a good understanding of everything.
"He pointed out details that really needed to be there and there was also a big focus on getting the size just right.”
