    Skyscraper Vase Specifications

    “Cassina” logo sandblasted into the base. Transparent pressed glass accents the complex shape of the object. The thickness of the glass lends value and importance to the piece. 

    Dimensions:

    15cm W x 22cm H x 11cm D

In this re-edition of the vase designed by Bodil Kjær in the early 1960s, architecture is the key feature. Its transparency magnifies the complex shape of the object, reminiscent of a skyscraper. Its sculptural shape is achieved through a particularly complex glass process requiring excellent artisan skills. Skyscraper is made of transparent glass mechanically pressed into a cast-iron mold to create the shape of a building and its elegant architectural details, an extremely arduous process, due to the considerable thickness of the glass.
