Skyscraper Vase – Cassina

Designed by
Bodil Kjaer

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.

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.
