Iconic Products

‘Container’

'Container' is a decorative jar with a gentle twist: silvered and tinted glass. The transformative effect is created by injecting a hint of liquid silver into the glass as it is being hand-blown using traditional Bohemian glassmaking techniques. Bubbles, streaks and other variations in size and colour are part of handmade production processes, and not defects in the design or production. The result is a prismatic finish as the reflective surface of the jar takes on the colours of its environment. With its poppy red lid, this low silver-coloured 'Container' can be used to hold small items and trinkets, remove the lid and the double-walled vessel becomes a vase.

This ‘Container’ collection has curved forms, where structures are soft yet bold, from shimmering golds and black to silvered fuchsia. Whether you use them to display a bouquet of flowers, or just as a keepsake these containers will add a touch of glamour to your everyday.

Animal Statuettes

Kai Linke's animal statuette beckons with its rough edges and soft glow, playful and full of curiosity. Each animal is carved by hand using only a paper figurine as a guide, and presents a unique and multifaceted character. Over the course of time the animal will develop a natural patina, a testament to both the richness and complexity of the high quality bronze used.
