What to do with a large collection of vases from the 1950s - 1970s ?
Known as Fat Lava or West German Art Pottery, these vases mostly come from
Germany – East and West, but also from Denmark and other countries.
They are brightly colored, the shapes and glazes are unusual and experimental.
More sculptures than vases, they are not ideal as flower vases also due to their
dominant designs and colours. But in combination with handmade lampshades,
covered with beautiful original fabrics from the period, in typical coloring and
weaving or with rare, visually powerful finds from today – the special shapes
and colors of these idiosyncratic and expressive vases make sense.
The result is sculptural lighting fixtures and decorative objects that enhance any
room and add an individual touch to t he decor. Each lamp is unique and the
technology, cables and sockets, are new, high-quality, and tailored to each one.
The bases and caps on the vase openings are custom-made for each version.
Upon request, we also create lamps from our own vases or other vessels and
are happy to accommodate special requests regarding the lampshade-design.
