A cohesive set of 13 decorative steel vases and containers, produced by BMF (Bayerische Metallwarenfabrik) in Germany around 1970.
The set is distinguished by its Brutalist and Space Age aesthetic, combining polished cylindrical surfaces with textured areas featuring hammered or volcanic reliefs, typical of experimental German design from the late 1960s and 1970s.
These pieces can be used as vases, storage containers, or decorative sculptural elements.
