Description

Fascinating Femme fatale

Admittedly, the praying mantis doesn’t have the best reputation. Seemingly deep in prayer, she snaps up spiders and insects in a flash – sometimes even her own kind or her partner. She has even inspired a few monster movies. And yet, there is a captivating beauty to her that our artists have translated perfectly into glass and metal. And yet, there is a captivating beauty to her that our artists have translated perfectly into glass and metal.

The majestic praying mantis CLEO presents herself with her unmistakable facial expression. From the finely crafted gold-colored antennae to her stable four feet, she is designed with as much artistry as naturalism. The yellow stripes on her glass body and the green-lacquered metal legs add fresh, lively accents that underline her modern look. At around 94 cm (approx. 37 inches) in height, she becomes a striking presence – indoors or outdoors.

A light object that transforms spaces

CLEO is more than decoration. With her warm glow and her mix of elegance and playful eccentricity, she brings a very special atmosphere to any setting – one that can’t be planned, only experienced. Whether in a living room, a conservatory, or an entrance area: whoever places CLEO turns a corner into a focal point and a room into an experience.

Craftsmanship that inspires

Like all Borowski light objects, CLEO is made with precise handcraftsmanship: mouth-blown glass, harmoniously shaped transitions between glass and metal, sturdy green-lacquered legs and metal arms, expressive eyes made of clear glass, and finely crafted golden antennae – every detail is considered and perfectly executed. CLEO is a piece of glass art with real character: bold, playful, and crafted to last.

Look into my eyes, darling

Cleo’s expressive eyes are a small masterpiece by our glassmakers. The transparent glass is softly frosted on the back, clear on the front – giving it an almost lifelike effect. The delicate color comes from a small light-blue glass disc placed behind the eyes, giving them their characteristic shimmer.

And then there are the violet eyebrows: a feminine detail with a touch of drama, reminiscent of her famous namesake Cleopatra. Cleo simply knows how to stage a look.

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.

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.

Manual Work

Exclusive Glass Art from Borowski Glassworks: Tradition, Craftsmanship, and Innovation Combined

Each object shown here embodies the craftsmanship of our glassmakers. Behind each of the objects that appear so light, cheerful and colorful is a complex, often sweaty manufacturing process. Today only a few people or manufactories master the old, demanding craft of the glassmaker.

In the Borowski Glass Studio you can work with almost all known techniques of cold and hot glass processing - this enables the artists to realize challenging visions and constant new, experimental ideas.

The three brothers Stani-Jan, Wiktor and Pawel Borowski learned how to use the glass pipe and the glowing material from scratch. While Wiktor mainly takes care of sales, Pawel and Stani-Jan work in the factory on site every day at the glass furnace.

Mouth-blown and traditionally handcrafted glass objects may have minor color and shape deviations that are unavoidable for manufacturing reasons. Air inclusions in the glass are a sign of the handmade product and should not be regarded as a defect. There may be deviations of a few centimeters in the size specifications.

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.
