ABOUT

ME

Martin Lukačka - portrait picture

Hi! I am MARTIN LUKAČKA

I am a product designer and architect specializing in bespoke lighting design and interior design, currently living in Prague, Czech Republic.

I was born in Bratislava, Slovakia. The youngest of three brothers. My whole childhood I spent on nerby baseball field. I  played baseball 25 years and it taught me variety of valuable life lessons that extend beyond the field. My brothers and I played with LEGO very often and that gave me the basics of my skills. It opened my creative mind and I knew I want to design in my life. After high school I studied Architecture in Technical University in Bratislava and I completed my Master Degree in Prague. During my studies, I learned to work in 3D programs and create visualizations that helped me in my next career path. From sketching, through 3D modeling up to photorealistic visuals can now easily transform my designs into production and reality. For the last 15 years I have been working mostly as a bespoke lighting designer, 3D graphic designer, but also completed couple of Interiors. Feel free to browse my portfolio and if you find something interesting, let me know.

My SERVICES

DESIGN

Need Creative Mind?

From small products, through bespoke lighting up to whole interiors and architectural concepts!

Let me know what you need and I will do my best to help you.

Lighting Design

Illuminate your unique spaces with a touch of individuality through bespoke lighting design services. A perfect blend of artistry and functionality, bespoke lighting goes beyond ordinary illumination. It's about crafting light fixtures that mirror your style, enhance your ambiance, and transform your spaces into captivating works of art.

Interior Design

With an eye for detail and a commitment to innovation, I curate a harmonious blend of furnishings, colors, textures, and lighting that breathe life into your space. Whether it's your cozy home, a vibrant office, or a commercial space that needs a fresh perspective, I tailor my approach to create environments that captivate and inspire.

Product Design

From conceptualization to realization, I create products that seamlessly blend form and function. Whether it's furniture that defines spaces, décor that adds character, or functional items that enhance daily life, my product designs echo your identity and needs. I bring ideas to life, fostering a connection between the user and the object.

Visuals and CGI

Need Visuals or Animation?

Experience the power of visualization like never before. I can breathe life into concepts, taking abstract ideas and transforming them into vivid, tangible representations. Whether it's a product, an interior space, or an architectural proposal, I harness cutting-edge technology to create realistic visuals that resonate with your vision. Let your ideas flourish in a virtual landscape before they manifest in reality.

3D modeling

For 3D modeling I use Rhinoceros 3D and several plugins like Grasshopper which allows me to create parametric models and very complex geometries.

Photorealistic Visuals and Animations

There are many ways how to present your product. I can prepare 2D sketches, simple 3D schemes, clay shaded visuals and also photorealistic visuals of products, interiors and architecture. For best results I use Unreal Engine, Twinmotion, D5 and Vray.

Virtual Reality

Experience the future today with my Virtual Reality services. Using the unmatched capabilities of Unreal Engine and Twinmotion, I can create virtual worlds that transport you beyond the screen. Whether it's architectural walkthroughs, interactive product demos, I craft experiences that engage your senses and elevate your understanding.

PRODUCTION

Need finalize your product or interior?

I collaborate with many professionals in the field of interior, lighting and product design.

Glass Production

Experience the magic of glass through bespoke Glass Production services. Collaboration is at the heart of my approach. I partner with experts in the glass industry, including glassblowers, glass cutters, and designers, to seamlessly blend traditional techniques with modern design sensibilities. My collaborative network ensures that every project benefits from a wealth of knowledge and experience, resulting in glass pieces that radiate both beauty and functionality.

PHOTOGRAPHY

Need capture the moment, product or interior?

Photography is more than just capturing moments; it's about freezing emotions, illuminating details, and breathing life into stories. Photography isn't just a service; it's a passion, a journey, and an art form that captures the heart and soul of glass production and interiors.

Glass Production Photography

My lens finds fascination in the art of glass production. With a keen eye for detail and an innate understanding of the craft, I capture the intricate dance of fire and glass, immortalizing the transformation of raw materials into elegant masterpieces. The play of light and color on molten glass becomes a symphony, and I am there to translate this symphony into visual poetry.

Interior Photography

Interiors are my canvas, and each space is a unique story waiting to be told. I specialize in capturing the soul of interior design – the interplay of textures, the dance of light and shadow, and the way spaces invite and inspire. Whether it's a cozy home, a sleek office, or a grand commercial establishment, I transform spaces into timeless images that resonate with emotion and ambiance.
