vases

A unique vase by Plody Erlanu. The vase is made of fine earthenware cast in a plaster mold with a crystalline glaze. Traditional procedures are combined with delicate shapes. Crystalline glaze occurs as a "defect" during firing. The zinc crystal is cultivated on the surface of the earthenware at specific temperatures. The zinc formations are then allowed to bloom into various shapes and colours. All glazes are prepared and mixed from crushed minerals and metals according to traditional recipes.

A vase in its purest form which impresses with its characteristic shape. The GARDEN collection provides space for your floral creativity. Each vase is hand blown into a wooden mold, ground and polished to the highest shine. Thanks to its minimalist shape, it easily fits both into a bohemian and also elegantly furnished apartment.

A series of luxury diffusers/vases with a characteristic wavy shape. The diffusers are hand blown into a wooden mold from luxurious glass. Each vase is handmade, mouth-blown into a wooden mold using czech crystal glass. Hand-cut and polished to the highest gloss. Coloured rubies are added to the hot glass to allow a smooth colour transition. The exact colour and its distribution over the surface is unique for each vase. Each piece is blown separately and its final form is always different.

Mila Žilková started working on the Personas project a long time ago. The liquid state of molten glass became the inspiration. In production, there is always a part of the product that is a workpiece and another part that is a scrap. Usually, all attention is focused on the workpiece so that it looks exactly like the design and can be replicated. Subsequently, this process is repeated in production which is, of course, correct. However, Mila believes that the beauty can also be found in scraps, because there is no control in their creation and the magic of glass can fully shine. That's where Personas come into play. Each different and unique. In the project, she is looking for the positions of glass as a material that can, with its natural consistency, create a shape that gives it another dimension – its personality. The basis is a simple semi-finished product on which the hot glass is then freely poured and shaped which gives the object a special character. The Persona layer is different from every point of view, constantly changing and evolving throughout our lives.

The DEKOPR collection is characterized by its simple shapes and original decors. For this collection, Pavla Vachunová combines the approaches of ceramics and graphics. Instead of engraving into porcelain, the decor is created directly by engraving into plaster molds. Simple peasant shapes are thus decorated with patterns reminiscent of snow-covered fallen needles.

The collection tries to find a balance between the proportion and the function of the object, the visual aspect interests the designers only in the last phase. They are not looking for a new shape of the vase, they are rather interested in the detail which is the common sharpened edge of the hollow glass shape and its masked living surface using old forgotten traditional techniques. Together with other objects from the Infinite Connection collection, FORMMA vases won the Designblok 2017 award in the Best Collection of Interior Accessories category.

The concept of the collection of vases is to find a natural balance in glasswork between free sculpture and meaningful design with a focus on the author's perception and unique handwriting. Vases materialize the physical-biological phenomenon of FUSION – connection and division of cells, expansion and sublimation of liquids. This phenomenon is subsequently transformed architecturally – by a sculptural approach to the material of glass with the added utilitarian function of vase. Each piece is hand-blown by Czech masters, coloured with ruby and then thoroughly polished. With this form of production, there might be subtle flaws in the form of internal bubbles which do not threaten the function and only increase the authenticity of the individual artifacts. 

A smaller vase from the Marble vases collection by Veronika Švábeníková. Each of the marble vases has a unique abstract decor created through a series of experiments with oxides and glazes. In every design, the element of chance is of great importance, which makes the vase an unrepeatable original.
