Light object | Special edition

As one of the main representatives of Surrealism, Salvador Dalí is one of the most famous painters of the 20th century. The artist’s distinguishing features are undoubtedly his twisted mustache and the melting clocks in his paintings. The “Lobster Telephone” is one of his most famous objects.

Description

When time begins to flow

Salvador Dalí is one of the best-known representatives of Surrealism – characterized by eccentric self-portrayal and a consistent exploration of the subconscious. His works play with perception, dreams and reality – often irritating, always unmistakable. Melting clocks, ants and the lobster as a surreal object are typical motifs in his work.

A dream in glass

The SALVADOR light object from the ODD BIRDS collection picks up on Dalí’s visual language. The flowing clock above the beak, the red lobster on the head and the abstract color gradients in the glass quote central motifs without simply copying them. Of course, the distinctive, thin twisted moustache with upward-pointing tips could not be missing in the design of SALVADOR.

Creating a sophisticated object like SALVADOR in glass requires more than just a creative idea – it demands a high degree of precision craftsmanship. Form, color and expression are created in direct contact with the material – and make each piece a unique result.

Between reality and fantasy

SALVADOR sets a unique accent in the garden, on the terrace or in the interior. The mixture of bird and surreal elements is unusual and catches the eye. Not an off-the-peg object.

A piece for anyone who enjoys the unusual, appreciates the play of colors and likes to go a step beyond the obvious.

The third brood

Special edition ODD BIRDS

The third brood

The third ODD BIRDS brood in 2021 was dedicated to icons from art, music, film and fantasy. Instead of realistic portraits, free, humorous interpretations are created that playfully take up the typical characteristics and traits of the role models.

Thus, this edition brings together creative geniuses and fictional screen characters. Molten glass is transformed into distinctive objects full of personality — handcrafted, vibrant in color, and rich in small details waiting to be discovered.

A collection for anyone who enjoys extraordinary personalities and unusual glass design.

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.

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.

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.
