“Stay Plastic Free”: a campaign that will affect the entire hotel world?

The deluxe EDITION Hotels Company has joined the “Stay Plastic Free” campaign, the goal of which is to stop using disposable plastic by the end of 2019, with its own initiative. This campaign, which will undoubtedly affect hoteliers worldwide, is headed by a chairman, the vice-president of Edition, Ben Pundole.

“Until recently this type of initiative did not affect the world of luxury hotels. But things are different now and this is just the beginning,” Pundole said. “The public itself has assumed a conscious approach and taken other positive steps,” Ben Pundole added.

Edition Hotels is the result of collaboration by Schrager and Marriot, and also means a great obligation.

Ian Schrager, an American businessman, hotelier and developer, and his Schrager Company have joined forces in a partnership with Marriot International and created a company called EDITION Hotels, a deluxe brand of hotels in London, Miami and New York. They have pledged to remove disposable plastic and become leaders of the “plastic-free world”.

Future plans. The proof is in the numbers.

Hotels play a great role in worldwide consumption of disposable plastic. The London Edition Hotel, which used 217,000 plastic bottles and 500,000 plastic straws in 2017, serves as an example. If the used straws were lined up in a row, this row would be nearly 101 kilometres long. To give you an idea, this is the distance between London and Brighton or ten times around Central Park in New York. In order to eliminate this problem the chain is making a number of small changes in relation to disposal of plastic in the hope that other the hotels of this brand will follow in its footstep. All 7 of the planned EDITION projects will be launched without plastic. These changes include installation of a drinking fountain, replacement of plastic bottles with cans, removal of all plastic from the minibars, removal of all plastic straws and toothbrushes made from bamboo for example.

What does she do?

Janja Prokič is does everything possible, her life is art! Whether she opens a jewelry store that is both a workshop and a space for meeting with clients, or she makes a catalog of her work, which is both a question of luxury and literature, works on her thought-out works, she is always creating art with a capital A. Modern, unique, fascinating. She fell in love with jewelry work and without exaggeration can be considered one of the most original jewelers in Prague.

Minimalism and luxury elegance

This is the common denominator of all that Janja Prokič does. Add the female approach, the floral and fauna inspiration, and the ethereal jewel with natural motifs is born. However, this is not the only thing that this artist presents to the world. There are 8 absolutely gorgeous and luxurious collections from the section of applied art, more precisely non-traditional jewelry.

"Each collection has a topic that it addresses in depth – there are symbols in each collection that have meaning and importance for the collection. The only symbol I repeat is the fox and the heart. It looks different every time, but it's there," she adds.

Jewels as we do not know them

Every woman likes to make herself more beautiful with jewelry. Janja has elevated this to an artistic act. Wearing her luxurious jewelry is an artistic experience and tells of the courage and taste of the "bearer" of the jewel itself. They are made of first-class hand-made materials. They involve hours and hours of patient activity, imagination, motor skills. Her jewels are tender, inspired by nature and a love for stones. Everything glitters, shines, shimmers. The stones are embedded in unusual gear, whether it be a ring, a bracelet, a necklace or a decorative headband.

The life of the artist through a keyhole

She not only designs the jewelry but also wears it. She loves chocolate, selected outfits of leading Czech designers, having fun with her friends, and draws energy from nature, which is why natural materials are so close to her heart.
