Bulletin No. X 1 PRECIOSA IN BLACKPOOL For the most part of the year, Blackpool is a typical English seaside city situated on the north-western coast of the Irish Sea, near Liverpool. It is hugely popular especially on weekends and during the tourist season, and is therefore regarded by the British as a tourist and entertainment capital. The Blackpool Dance Festival, incorporating the British Open Championships (www.blackpooldancefestival.net), is often termed as a mecca for all Latin American and Standard dancers, both professional and amateur. This festival is the world’s biggest, oldest (held regularly in Blackpool’s Winter Gardens since 1920) and most famous annual competition in which dancing couples from all over the world participate. Such characteristics, coupled with the presence of so many top couples, are the reason why professional dancers, as well as amateurs and the general dancing public, attach such great importance to this festival – greater even than the regard given to world championships that could never boast, compared with Blackpool, such concentration of couples at one place and in one time. It is true to say that Blackpool is Wimbledon’s dancing counterpart: a dancing couple that has never taken part in the festival can hardly rank among top dancers. Ac tiv it ie s Besides the ballroom, where the festival annually takes place, the Winter Gardens complex also includes an exhibition and sale hall where manufacturing companies from all quarters of the world display and offer their complete range of dance-related products. One of the regular exhibitors is also the Dance Sport International (DSI) Company, Preciosa’s exclusive authorized Com pa ny 's distributor for Great Britain, offering a complete range of dancing gear. DSI regularly purchases machine-cut glass stones from Preciosa to decorate dancers’ costumes and various accessories. Last year, the company’s exhibition stand attracted every visitor’s attention not only due to its splendor and prime position directly T he opposite the main entrance, but primarily due to the 29 Preciosa - Lustry crystal chandeliers. The DSI Company’s exhibition stand exclusively decorated with lighting fixtures by Preciosa - Lustry. 2 Lighting Projects PRECIOSA - LUSTRY IN SPAIN AGAIN On January 1, 2009, Preciosa - Lustry opened its new Madrid-based Spanish subsidiary named Ibero Preciosa. It was established with the aim of extending the company’s range of lighting fixtures on offer, and improving our customer service on the Spanish market, primarily in the lighting projects sector. The opening ceremony, attended by Mr. Petr Eichner, Commercial Counselor, Ms. Adriana Krásová, Director of the Czech Republic’s Cultural Center in Prague, and Preciosa - Lustry headquarters’ representatives Mr. Milan Beneš, Vice President for Sales and Marketing, and Mr. Michal Gabaj, Senior Sales Executive of Spain, took place on January 15, 2009 on the premises of the Czech Embassy in Madrid.

The well-known Czech artist Rony Plesl, Preciosa - Lustry’s external designer, designed the company’s exhibition stand and some of the fixtures from the NEW 2008 catalogue. Inspiration Rony Plesl designed Preciosa - Lustry’s exhibition stand as a sushi bar, with bamboo stems in various configurations forming interesting decorations contrasting with the crystal chandeliers illuminating the interior. The dominant chandelier, designed by Preciosa - Lustry’s chief designer Jaroslav Bejvl Jr, was our exhibition stand’s most captivating quality, attracting the attention of our customers, mainly architects and designers. Mr. Bejvl followed the current trend in designing classical lighting fixtures characterized by added distinctive elements of modern morphology, such as the extravagant vacuum-coated chandelier trimmings combined with classical cut crystal components – all used in the fixture mentioned above. This combination makes a distinctive contrast, amplifying the beauty of the chandelier. This chandelier’s timeless design will match both modern and classical interiors. 4 Lighting Projects PRECIOSA - LUSTRY AT THE DAYS OF DESIGN IN PRAGUE DESIGNBLOK 08 The biggest Czech design show ‘Designblok 08’, held at the DOX Superstudio, featured a unique lighting object by the name of Gargantua, designed by Rony Plesl and his studio team. This hand-made chandelier is about 2,5 meters high and shaped as a bunch of blossoming branches, all shining ends pointing downward. The new chandelier Gargantua, designed by the renowned Czech artist Rony Plesl and his studio team, hovers on the boundary of a work of art and a piece of interior furnishings.

This spectacular chandelier, made and assembled from mouth-blown glass components in combination with machine-cut crystal chandelier trimmings, 50 cm in diameter, will be sold in an original limited edition by Preciosa, the company that started and completed the manufacture of this fixture.
