Drawing inspiration from forms of nature and cultural artifacts, this glass collection is made of authentic and sustainable materials, manufactured by hand following practical knowledge and handicraft techniques developed over centuries. Each piece shows the variable traces of human work on its surface, creating interplay between sculptural form and texture. More specifically, the design of their glass objects combines these aspects with a nuanced and strong color impression, leading to a smooth and natural appearance.
The pieces are designed in Germany and handmade by teams of artisans working collaboratively. To produce glass, the molten glass is first blown into a double-shell metal mold. Since this collection is almost exclusively organic shapes, the objects cannot be rotated as in symmetrical molds, which means that there are always two marks on the object. Depending on colour and cut, these marks can be visible in different ways. Bubbles that can form in the process as well as minimal inclusions of non-fused colour pigments are natural traces of the handcraft and a sign of full colour glass. After the glass workpiece has been cooled down step by step over several days, the various grinding operations follow. This gives the workpiece its individual structure and unmistakable character. Each form is a true masterpiece of craftsmanship.
The hand-brown Honeycomb Vase in black/steel grey features a simple silhouette with organic textures to empathize uniqueness.
