From Waste to Wonder: Qelq’s Sustainable Journey
At Qelq, sustainability is not just a principle—it’s our way of creating beauty and making a positive impact. Located in the heart of Tirana, Qelq champions the art of glassmaking with a commitment to reducing waste and promoting environmental consciousness. Every piece in our collection tells a story of transformation, where recycled materials are given new life through the skill and creativity of our artisans.
What we Do
Transforming Waste Into Art
Our creations start with recycled glass, collected and carefully curated to reduce environmental impact. Through a meticulous process, these materials are reshaped into jewelry, dining plates, and artisanal decor that reflect the perfect harmony of tradition, innovation, and sustainability.
Collections That Inspire Change
From the ocean-inspired AltaBlue to the culturally infused Vjosa collection, every product represents a unique blend of artistry and eco-consciousness. Each handcrafted piece serves as a reminder of the importance of recycling and the potential for sustainable practices to create something extraordinary.
The Vjosa Project: Sustainability in Action
One of our proudest achievements, the Vjosa line, exemplifies our commitment to the planet. By collaborating with environmental initiatives, we transformed glass waste from the Vjosa River cleanup into meaningful keepsakes for participants of international conferences. This project highlights how art and business can work together to promote conservation and raise awareness on a global scale.
A Vision for the Future
Together, let’s make sustainability a cornerstone of art and everyday life.
Qelq is redefining how art and sustainability intersect, proving that creativity can be a powerful tool for change. By choosing Qelq, you join us in our mission to celebrate the beauty of glass while preserving the planet for generations to come.
