Buy now

Echoing the familial ties between Karen Blixen and Akua Objects, the Blixen vase embodies her poetic essence and adventurous spirit, resonating deeply with our shared heritage. A testament to the elegance and grace of flowers, it is crafted for those who cherish the beauty of nature’s blooms.

A gracious pedestal made to embody floral symphonies as a centerpiece to tables and window displays. Available in two sizes, the smaller one in emerald green, perfectly suited for petite bouquets of garden flowers, while the larger one stands clear and tall, ready to cradle grand arrangements of exquisite beauty.

Inspired by the poetry found within the silhouette of a flower and the profound love for flora expressed by the Danish author Karen Blixen, this vase is a homage to the organic elegance of nature. Its elevated base lends an air of poetry and space for stems to dance freely with undulating waves that gently guide flowers to unfold freely and gracefully even after they’ve been placed in water. As Blixen herself eloquently put it, the unfolding of flowers is « one of life’s greatest miracles.”

Each vase is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, meticulously crafted in three separate parts – base, sphere, and body – before being seamlessly joined together by skilled artisans in Murano. Hand-blown with care, it takes a team of three – a master and his dedicated artisans – to bring each vase to life.
