Description

Bird of paradise with character

BIG GONZO is a handmade light object that can be left outside all year round. He is slimmer and taller than his brothers FAT GONZO and GONZO. Like most Borowski OUTDOOR OBJECTS, BIG GONZO appears as if from another world. With its upright posture, it radiates a certain dignity, and the googly eyes also give it a somewhat jokey touch. All in all, he is simply a very charming companion who makes you smile. Since ice and snow cannot damage it, it has the pleasant ability, especially in the cold season, to simply shine away dreariness and boredom.

The object features at a glance:

Height: 65 cm

Handmade – each glass object is unique

Humorous glass art for home and garden

We lovingly named him GONZO and over the years there have been more and more. The mischievous looking fantasy birds made of glass have become one of the crowd favourites at Borowski exhibitions. The GONZO glass object is available in different sizes and colors, with and without light. To give you an overview, we have summarized the entire gonzology for you here.

The Famous Relatives

ODD BIRDS

Some family members have gone quite far and have world-famous names. The fact that these are all FAT GONZOs is pure coincidence. 

LOOK AT THE ODD BIRDS!

BIG GONZO Specials

On very rare occasions, BIG GONZO special editions also gather around the rock and settle down for a short time. Their distinctive "wild stripe" plumage makes them easy to spot among the year-round birds.

BIG GONZO Specials love the big stage, so our events are the most likely to spot a few specimens. The best thing to do is to quickly sign up for our newsletter. Then you'll always know what's going on, when and where.

The GONZO rock

Numerous gonzos have settled on the rocks by the wildly romantic waterfall in the Gut Wintermühlenhof park in Königswinter. During our annual open-air summer exhibition, visitors are also allowed into the park, which is privately owned. Then the gonzos shine in the shade of the tall deciduous trees while curiously eyeing the passers-by.

Useful Information

Change Bulb

If the light goes out on your GONZO light object: the steel feet can be unscrewed to change the bulb.

Size Comparison

Here is a size comparison between FAT GONZO (right) and GONZO (left). Even though both are designed as OUTDOOR OBJECTS for year-round outdoor use, they also feel very comfortable indoors.

BOROWSKI Light Objects

Every outdoor space is enhanced by light – it creates a sense of safety and adds a special atmosphere.

Our light objects are designed as outdoor sculptures and easily withstand the effects of wind and weather all year round. Of course, they can also be used indoors.

Elegant, atmospheric – and a little bit magical

Add a touch of enchantment to your favorite spot in the garden or on your balcony! Whether as a cheerful eye-catcher among your flower beds, a striking art piece on the lawn, or playfully placed in a tree or on your house wall – there are no limits to your creativity. In summer, they invite you to linger with their ambient glow. In winter, they defy frost and darkness, bringing cheer with their vibrant colors and warm light.

The light objects come with a 6-meter outdoor cable.
Bulbs are included.

Manual Work

A Fusion of Tradition, Craftsmanship and Innovation

Exclusive glass art from the Borowski glass factory

Each object shown here reflects the craftsmanship of our glassmakers. What appears lighthearted, playful, and full of color is in fact created through a demanding and often physically challenging production process. Today, only a small number of people and glass studios worldwide still master the traditional art of glassmaking.

At the Borowski Glass Studio, nearly all known techniques of hot and cold glassworking can be applied. This exceptional range of possibilities allows our artists to continuously develop new ideas and bring even highly ambitious, experimental visions to life in glass.

The brothers Stani-Jan, Wiktor, and Pawel Borowski learned to work with the blowpipe and molten glass from the ground up. While Wiktor primarily oversees sales, Pawel and Stani-Jan still work daily at the furnace in the glass studio themselves.

As each object is mouth-blown and traditionally handcrafted, slight variations in color, shape, and size are unavoidable. Small air inclusions in the glass are characteristic features of genuine handcrafted studio glass and should not be regarded as flaws, but rather as signs of its individual production process.

Outdoor Objects

OUTDOOR OBJECTS

SUNNY AND SAFE – IN ALL WEATHERS

The friendly figures and characters of the OUTDOOR OBJECTS ensure “fabulous” encounters in gardens and parks – in the true sense of the word. As if from another world chameleons, birds, armadillos, and all sorts of creatures appear – bringing a little piece of their world into our own. The OUTDOOR OBJECTS create a wonderful link to their environment – inviting their owners to smile, dream and linger. These highly individual, happy visitors will enliven your garden or balcony and give your favourite spot a very special magic.

The OUTDOOR OBJECTS are weatherproof and can stand outside all year long. All these art objects are handmade and hand blown with the utmost care.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When fastening your object, you should make sure that it stands securely and does not wibble or tip over, even in wind or knocks. Use the mounting eyelets we provide for this purpose. Position your object so that it is safe from falling rocks or braking branches. Keep in mind that the objects are very heavy due to their quality and protruding parts (e.g. beaks, eyes, ears, tails, crowns) are not suitable as handles.
