About the Item
Bodil Kjaer Skyscraper Vase For Cassina
Skyscraper is made of transparent glass mechanically pressed into a cast-iron mould to create the shape of a building and its elegant architectural details, an extremely arduous process, due to the considerable thickness of the glass.
Its sculptural shape is achieved through a particularly complex glass process requiring excellent artisan skills
It was in 1963 that Bodil Kjaer designed a family of four vases
featuring contours and decorations reminiscent of the architectural
elements of building facades. In partnership with the Danish designer,
Cassina revisits the largest Skyscraper vase and puts it back into
production. In this re-edition, architecture is still the key feature and
the sculptural shape of the vase is achieved through a particularly
complex process requiring excellent artisan skills. Skyscraper is made
of transparent glass mechanically pressed into a cast-iron mould to
create the shape of a building, an extremely arduous process, given
the considerable thickness of the glass. Furthermore, to recreate the
architectural details of Skyscraper, the glass must be processed at
extremely high temperatures to make it as fluid as possible so it can
adhere to the shape of the mould.
In this new re-edition of Skyscraper, designed by Bodil Kjær in the early 1960s, architecture is still the core ingredient. The shape of the vase, revealed by the name itself, is reminiscent of a skyscraper. Its sculptural form is achieved through a complex process and the refinement of the glass intensifies its bold aesthetic impact.

About the Designer:
Bodil Kjær, Professor, Architect MAA (Member of the Association of Academic Architects in Denmark) was born in Denmark in 1932. She was educated in Denmark, England and the USA, and practised as an architect, designer and planner from her own offices in Copenhagen and London.
Between 1955 and 1963, while designing public interiors she developed a series of elements of architecture to solve problems of functional and aesthetic nature. These pieces of furniture, lamps and glass were not designed directly for production but, as other architects discovered them and wanted them for their buildings, they were put into production and marketed in the USA as well
About The Manufacturer:

With a mindset focused on research and innovation, Cassina combines technology and long-standing artisan craftsmanship.
