The Borowski Story

In 1964, Stanislaw Borowski (born 1944 in Moutiers, France) began working as a glass cutter at the glassworks in Krosno, Poland. Yet in the industrial environment of the factory, he found no room to realize his artistic ambitions.

So in 1970 he took a secret step: in his aunt’s garage he set up a small workshop – laying the foundation for today’s Borowski Glass Studio.

There he began experimenting with self-made tools and nearly forgotten engraving techniques on overlay glass. Before long, his extraordinary engravings and sculptures gained international recognition and led to exhibitions in Germany, the USA, the Netherlands, and Japan.

A Growing Family Business

In 1990, Stanislaw Borowski, together with his two eldest sons Pawel and Wiktor, founded Glasstudio Borowski GmbH in Germany. The great success of the artworks soon made the first studio too small, so in 1992 a new, larger studio was opened near Bolesławiec in Poland. From then on, Stanislaw, Pawel, and the youngest son Stani Jan worked together on the Borowski brand. Meanwhile, Wiktor remained in Germany, overseeing sales, logistics, and management at the company’s headquarters in Königswinter.

Masterpieces for Museums and Collectors

Today, works by Stanislaw, Pawel, and Stani Jan Borowski can be found in renowned galleries, collections, and museums – including the world-famous Corning Museum of Glass in New York. Borowski creations are now regarded as some of the most internationally recognized examples of contemporary glass art.

Three Distinctive Collections

In addition to unique one-of-a-kind pieces, the artists have developed three collections: ART OBJECTS, STUDIO LINE, and OUTDOOR OBJECTS. These colorful and stylistically distinctive series combine art, design, and craftsmanship – and are available worldwide online, in selected exclusive stores, and in Borowski’s own galleries.
