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.

Some family members have gone quite far and have world-famous names. The fact that these are all FAT GONZOs is pure coincidence.
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.
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.
If the light goes out on your GONZO light object: the steel feet can be unscrewed to change the bulb.
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.
Every outdoor area gains quality through light, because brightness creates a feeling of security and creates an atmospheric ambience.
Our light objects are developed as outdoor sculptures and withstand the influences of wind and weather all year round without any problems. Of course they can also be used indoors.
Give your favorite place in the garden or on the balcony a magical touch! Whether as a cheerful eye-catcher between your flowers, a leading art object on your lawn or imaginative and original in the branches of a tree … there are no limits to your creativity. In summer they invite you to linger with their atmospheric light. In winter they resist frost and darkness and ensure a good mood with their strong colors and warm light.
The light objects are equipped with 6 meters of external cable.
The bulbs are included.
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.

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. Whether it is as cheerful and lively wind chime, lustrous light object, or as a colourful sculpture made of glass and rusty steel, the OUTDOOR OBJECTS form a wonderful bond with their surroundings – 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.
When fixing your object, you should make sure that it stands securely and does not wobble or tip even in the event of 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.
