Skyscraper

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 mould to create the shape of a building and its elegant architectural details, an extremely arduous process, due to the considerable thickness of the glass.‎“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.‎
