Description

Hello,

So far, they’ve been calling me RHINO.
If the name works for you, let’s keep it. If not – I’m open to suggestions. I’m not one to get hung up on appearances.

I just wanted to briefly introduce myself. And share a few things you might not notice at first glance.

I’m heavy. In the best possible way. And I come from a very hot place. My head was heated to nearly 1,200 degrees Celsius – that’s when it was shaped from molten glass, and the colored glass and gold leaf were applied. Not an easy process, or so they say at the furnace. Things got a little rough now and then, and I picked up a few small scars along the way. I think they suit me.

My body? Steel. Shaped under intense heat, as it should be. At first, my surface has a fine, rust-colored haze. Sometimes it looks a bit patchy – but that changes with time. It slowly develops into an even layer of patina that protects me. And gives me character. Refined rust, you could say. I just take a little while to grow into myself.

A small note: in the rain, some of that rust might wash off. So I’d prefer to stand on a surface that won’t mind.

“I know, I have quite a presence. I’ll admit I’m a little proud of that. You have to allow yourself that much.”

There’s something you might not see from the outside: I carry a light within me. And I think that’s important. Not too bright, but steady. In fact, there are two lights – one shines forward, the other to the back. I like balance.
If I ever stay dark, it usually means the light source needs changing. Just lay me gently on my side – a blanket or some soft grass would be appreciated. My belly plate can be opened with a wrench. Twist open the right side of the fixture and you’ll reach the bulb.

Sometimes my face can look a bit dusty or dull. A damp cloth does wonders. And with a little silicone spray or a matt glass conditioner from Glasstudio BOROWSKI, I get my signature glow back – well, a velvety one, at least.

Once I’m standing upright again – steady, quiet, with my inner light on – I hope you’ll see that I’m right where I belong.

And if you still have questions: the people at Glasstudio BOROWSKI know me well.
They know what makes me tick.

Yours, RHINO

“I’m not loud – but I do shine. From within, that is… And my horns? Blue glass, with a touch of gold leaf. A little luxury never hurts.”

RHINO in the sculpture park Andernach

The outdoor facilities of the Hotel Einstein at the Römerpark in Andernach are designed as a landscape and sculpture park and invite you to stroll and marvel.

A permanent exhibition of Borowski OUTDOOR OBJECTS has been created around the hotel. The numerous sculptures and light objects provide artistic enjoyment and fit perfectly into the overall picture of the complex.

Light object

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.
