ABOUT PRODUCTID 36331
The Turmalin glass vase, designed by Wilhelm Wagenfeld for the renowned German manufacturer WMF in the 1950s/60s, stands as a hallmark of modernist design rooted in the Bauhaus ethos. Crafted from thick, mass-colored glass in a deep teal shade, this piece features a minimalist, organically inspired silhouette: a tall, slightly flattened body with rounded edges and a gently narrowing neck. The surface is smooth and glossy, highly reflective, accentuating the inherent quality of the material. There are no visible seams or joints, and the overall finish demonstrates the meticulous craftsmanship typical of mid-century German design. The vase is in very good condition—clear glass, free of cracks, chips, or deep scratches, with a clean interior.The form and color of the vase evoke the spirit of modernist experimentation with material and light. This object seems to speak of an era when simplicity and function defined the essence of good design, and the Bauhaus movement set the benchmark for modernity. The vase appears to capture and reflect light within, as if holding onto a fleeting moment, while its organic lines recall a river stone smoothed by water—a silent testament to the harmony between nature and the designer’s vision.The vase could be paired with raw, modernist wooden or metal furniture to accentuate its bold character, or used as a singular accent atop a pale console or minimalist table. It would work beautifully in interiors inspired by mid-century modern, Scandinavian minimalism, or contemporary settings that value purity of form. It is best showcased with a single stem or a restrained floral arrangement, allowing its subtle presence to come to the fore.
