Light object | Special edition

Eccentric fictional character and one of the greatest voices in rock history:
Freddy Mercury, recognizable by his royal crown and ermine, giant moustache and overbite, broke all boundaries with his bombastic stage shows.

Description

FREDDY light object – Clear the stage

Freddie Mercury is considered one of the greatest live performers ever, someone who filled entire stadiums with his charisma. His look alternated between skin-tight costumes, white undershirts, leather jackets and those legendary performances with crown and cape. Our tribute to this great artist picks up on these special features: moustache, overbite, crown and red cape, just as he is probably remembered by many of his fans.

More than just a frontman

Freddie Mercury was not just the singer of Queen. He was voice, show and attitude all rolled into one. And the amazing thing: He was self-taught. No singing lessons, no classical training – everything he could do, he worked out for himself.

His variable, vibrato-rich rock tenor voice ranged over four octaves and still captivates people today. Style boundaries? Didn’t matter to him. Rock’n’roll, disco, funk, gospel, pop ballads, hard rock or musicals – he sang everything. When he met the Spanish soprano Montserrat Caballé in 1987 and recorded the album “Barcelona” with her, one of the first major crossover projects in music history was born.

And he never stood still. Every phase sounded different, every development was intentional. An exceptional talent who set his own standards – and shifted them time and again.

Not made for the background

FREDDY looks for his place. Indoors, he creates a clear focal point in the room. In the garden or in front of the house, it works best where it cannot be overlooked – raised on a wall or at the entrance. In the evening, the light takes over. And whoever puts it down usually knows exactly why.

The first brood
Special edition ODD BIRDS

The first brood

The ODD BIRDS appeared in public for the first time at the Borowski Summer Festival 2019 at Gut Wintermühlenhof in Königswinter. They parody world-famous personalities from the worlds of art, music, science and entertainment.

Stani Jan Borowski has lovingly targeted 12 celebrities and created glass cult figures from his role models with a lot of humor.

HUMOROUS, ICONIC AND FULL OF COLOR – FIND YOUR VERY OWN STAR!

Every „Odd Bird“ is a real TYPE with its own character traits. A selection of these birds can be seen in the Borowski Gallery Düsseldorf. Paul Hilgärtner is in charge of our showroom and looks forward to helping you decide on these special objects.

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.
