Design

The Blockglas Amber vase is characterised by its substantial spherical body, carved from thick optical glass that creates remarkable visual depth. Rich amber tones gradually dissolve into crystal-clear glass, allowing light to travel through the object while generating subtle distortions, reflections, and magnified views of its surroundings. The precisely positioned circular opening interrupts the perfect geometry with understated elegance, reinforcing the impression of a sculptural form rather than a conventional vase. Its exceptional weight further enhances its monolithic presence, giving the object a quiet sense of permanence.

Whether displayed on a dining table, console, pedestal, or illuminated shelf, this vase becomes a focal point through its interaction with natural and artificial light. Its warm amber tones pair beautifully with travertine, walnut, smoked glass, bronze, and dark natural stone, while its restrained geometry complements both minimalist and contemporary interiors.
