Description

Style that pushes boundaries

Prince was a revolutionary multi-instrumentalist, singer and composer who fused funk, rock, pop and soul. His work is characterized by great stylistic diversity, a distinct artistic independence and an unmistakable visual aesthetic. With the album and film “Purple Rain” (1984), he became one of the most successful artists in the world.
As a pop icon, he set standards with his style and stage presence. His eccentric look was glamorous, often androgynous, characterized by glitter and sequins from head to toe, ruffles, flared pants and his signature color purple.

Extravagance in glass

The light object PRINCE picks up on several characteristic elements of the musician’s extravagant outfits without simply copying them. The speckled, amber-colored glass body has a refined shimmer with an almost metallic sheen. Unlike the other ODD BIRDS, PRINCE features a high-gloss surface rather than a matte finish. The blue crest adds a striking accent, while a baroque-style ruffled cravat made of violet glass wraps around the neck.

Presence with subtle nuances

The PRINCE light object is just as eye-catching as Prince was as a stage star. And yet its effect is not limited to attracting attention: Like its role model, the glass interpretation also lives from the quieter nuances. It brings calm to the overall picture, radiates warmth and unfolds its presence in a restrained, almost casual way.

The second brood

Special edition ODD BIRDS

The second brood

In the summer of 2019, Stani Jan Borowski’s ODD BIRDS hatched successfully from glowing glass for the very first time. In 2020, a second brood of charismatic characters followed—each one falling out of the societal nest of “normality.” All of them are outsiders, outcasts, misunderstood, black sheep or eccentrics who made it to world fame. They captivate us, fascinate us and move us. Why? Perhaps because they ask us to stand by ourselves and courageously go our own way.

Here you can see the video produced by Stani Jan Borowski in the glass manufactory for the presentation of his "second brood".

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.
Bulbs are included.

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.

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.

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.
