Beautiful and heavy design object by the world-renowned Czech designer Bořek Šípek (1949-2016).
This solid pressed glass object features a sculptural, geometric shape with a square, faceted top that functions as a shallow bowl. The base is wide and stepped with elegant, rounded lines and four spherical feet. The glass is crystal clear and plays beautifully with light due to the many facets and relief structures – typical of Šípek's expressive and postmodern style.
