ABOUT PRODUCTID 14025
The Optical vase by HSG Ząbkowice, designed by Jan Drost in the 1970s, is made from pressed sodium glass. It features a spherical body (height: 17 cm, rim: 13.5 x 8.5 cm), covered with gentle, vertical optic ridges characteristic of Drost’s work from the era. The color palette is based on a cool, olive-yellow gradient, more concentrated towards the edges and subtly fading into a clear, transparent central area. The visual effect is heightened by the glossy, meticulously polished surface and the soft geometric segmentation formed by the glassmoulding, with no handles or applied decorations to distract the eye. The style reflects mid-century modern tendencies with pronounced Scandinavian influences—evident in both the clarity of the material and the minimalist language of the form. The vase is preserved in very good condition, with no visible cracks or chips and only minor marks from careful use appropriate to its age.This vase expresses the disciplined clarity of the 1970s, an era when Polish industrial design found new resonance in bold surface treatment and the modulation of light. The glass seems to narrate a story of reimagining the ordinary—its vertical optic textures evoke slowed echoes of sound, while the play of cool tones brings a subtle luminosity into the interior. It speaks with the voice of its epoch, where fine craftsmanship merged with innovation; the simple yet masterfully controlled interplay of transparency and color redefines functional art.The Optical vase may be placed on a low wooden or veneered sideboard, where light reflected from the ridged glass complements the grain of the surface. It can be paired with matte ceramics or dark metalwork, highlighting its transparency and soft color
