RIO – The radiant parrot for home & garden

Here comes a splash of tropical color for your outdoor space! The outdoor light object parrot RIO brings vibrant hues and a true vacation feeling to your garden or terrace. Standing at an impressive 60 cm in height, RIO is impossible to overlook and is available in three different color variations.

Like many Borowski glass objects, this masterpiece is inspired by the exotic beauty of the tropics. Whether as a striking standalone piece or part of a decorative flock, this artistic macaw is guaranteed to draw attention.

Striking Presence, Minimal Space Required
With its commanding height, Ara RIO is a real eye-catcher, yet thanks to its compact dimensions of approximately 30 × 32 cm, it requires little space and seamlessly integrates into any setting.

Perfect for Elegant Outdoor Spaces and Your Indoor Oasis
The RIO outdoor light object is an exceptional choice for garden lighting, terrace decoration, or as an exclusive highlight in outdoor lounges and designer gardens. It masterfully combines artistic craftsmanship with functional lighting to create an inviting atmosphere.
Even in a winter garden or nestled among potted plants, this luminous macaw—designed for outdoor use—feels right at home. Pair RIO with your tropical plants to create a breathtaking display and transform any area into a vibrant paradise!

For those who appreciate high-quality, unique objects, RIO is a perfect choice—whether as a gift or a stylish addition to one’s own curated space.

A Transformation in Light: Colors that Glow, Shimmer, and Surprise
The color effects of this extraordinary light object shift with illumination. When the internal light is switched on, certain pigments recede, while others glow even more intensely. For example, in low ambient light, RIO’s lime-green plumage can be so dominated by the orange glass that the citrus color is no longer visible. The interplay of translucent and opaque glass creates mesmerizing color transformations, which become even more dramatic as the surrounding light dims. This illuminated artwork makes RIO a stunning highlight—day or night.

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

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.
