Description

SHERLOCK – the Detective among the ODD BIRDS

With SHERLOCK, Borowski presents a light object that playfully translates the legendary figure of Sherlock Holmes into glass. The famous detective is turned into a parody here – lovingly crafted with a touch of humor: On his head sits the unmistakable deerstalker hat – the checkered hunting cap. In front of his eye he holds a magnifying glass, symbol of his sharp powers of observation. And of course, the classic pipe is not to be missed – that iconic accessory which always accompanied Holmes on his intellectual excursions. Thus, the bird itself becomes a personified sleuth: eccentric, clever, and just a little mischievous – entirely in the spirit of the ODD BIRDS Edition.

Sherlock Holmes – a Literary Icon

Sherlock Holmes is one of the most famous figures in world literature. Created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, he has fascinated generations of readers since the late 19th century with his razor-sharp logic, unusual methods, and idiosyncratic personality. Holmes is more than a detective – he is a symbol of the power of observation, the fascination of mystery, and the triumph of reason over chaos. His stories shaped the genre of crime literature like few others, and to this day the master detective continues to inspire artists, filmmakers, and designers worldwide.

SHERLOCK as a Light Object Indoors and Outdoors

The SHERLOCK glass object is a handcrafted light sculpture from the Borowski special edition ODD BIRDS. It is equally suited as a charismatic home accessory indoors or as a striking sculpture in the garden or on the terrace. Designed as an outdoor light object, it can remain outside year-round. With its unique character, it becomes a playful highlight in any setting – a design piece full of wit and charm.

Warm Light for a Cozy Atmosphere

The amber-colored glass body of SHERLOCK bathes its surroundings in a soft, warm glow. This illumination creates a sense of comfort and lends both interiors and outdoor areas a welcoming, atmospheric mood. The Borowski glass object unites art and function: as an outdoor light it provides atmospheric garden lighting, while as a design sculpture it sets striking accents that delight both art lovers and design enthusiasts.

Glass Light Object SHERLOCK from the Borowski ODD BIRDS Edition – a glowing bird figure as a humorous parody of Sherlock Holmes with green deerstalker hat, dark violet pipe, and yellow magnifying glass. The black buttons on the amber glass body allude to the detective’s classic coat.

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.

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.
