The Bauhaus vase by Carol Gay explores the limits of glass deformation through experimentation during glassblowing, and celebrates 100 years of the Bauhaus School by using its classic shapes – triangle, square and circle – to structure the glass ball.
The concept sets out to disrupt the round shape that traditional artisanal blowing naturally produces, provoking deviations from the usual process of making mass-produced items.
The base, in Brazilian Cumaru wood, suspends the glass, gives the piece stability and holds the shape created by the glassblower. Cumaru is a hard, resistant wood often used in Brazil for outdoor flooring and stairs, and here it is given a new function.
The glass contains no lead, is recyclable and is made using an electric oven, without burning CO2. As a craft product, shapes and sizes may vary.
Customization is available on request.
