What’s new: New Works’ Blæhr vase

Blæhr vase filled with flowers

New Works' sculptural Blæhr vase is made of glass.

New Works’ Blæhr vase is what happens when beautiful design and professional artisanship meet. Sculptural vase delights both filled with flowers and empty.

DANISH NEW WORKS is best known for its material-driven and sculptural design, appreciation of artisanship and innovative experiments. In the design brand's new Blæhr vase, these qualities come together in an enchanting way.

The vase is the perfect home for flowers but also charms when empty.

The stunning vase is a collaboration between Danish designer Linnea Ek Blæhr and glassblower Anders Raad. Their friendship is the perfect example of what can happen when two skilled professionals combine their talents: a young designer's visions meet an artisan's decades-long experience. The designer challenges the handicrafter with her ideas, the crafter assists and guides – and in the end, something extraordinary is born that neither could have achieved alone. 

Young Danish designer Linnea Ek Blæhr has designed a mould for the vase.

Glass blowing and melting glass in a mould

Anders Raad has decades of experience in glass blowing. The Blæhr vase is made by mouth-blowing.

The glass vase is made by mouth-blowing in a wooden mould, which changes shape and grows with each new vase, thereby changing the figure of the vase next to being blown. The air bubbles trapped in the glass and the traces of the wooden mould give each Blæhr vase a unique, irregular look that is never completely identical to the other.

New Works' Blæhr vases in different colours

The Blæhr vase is available in three delicate colours: smoked green, amber and bright.

Blæhr vase is available in two sizes and three beautiful translucent colours. The gorgeous vase dazzles filled with minimalist branches or impressive floral arrangements but also serves as an eye-catching decorative object when empty.
