101 Copenhagen Bakku Vase, Big - Smoked Desert

Named after the Japanese word “Bakku,” meaning “bag,” this collection embodies a distinctive, fluid form reminiscent of a softly collapsing sack. Each vase celebrates the beauty of imperfection, embracing natural curves and subtle variations that bring artistic elegance to any space.

Expertly crafted using the age-old technique of mouth-blown glassmaking, each Bakku vase begins as molten glass heated to 1,500 degrees Celsius before being carefully shaped inside a custom mould. Air is then gently blown into the glass, forming its iconic silhouette. Once removed from the mould, the vase undergoes a meticulous tempering process, with its top edge cut and polished to perfection.

Finally, it is spray-painted in one of two sophisticated hues, each bringing a unique character to contemporary interiors: Smoked Forest, a rich, deep transparency infused with warm brown undertones that evoke the depth of shadowed woodlands; and Smoked Desert, a soft, warm grey with delicate translucency, reminiscent of early morning mist.

Due to its artisanal craftsmanship, no two Bakku vases are exactly alike; small air bubbles or slight variations in shape make each piece truly one-of-a-kind. Available in two sizes, the mini vase is ideal for delicate floral arrangements on a dining table or as a refined accent on a console or coffee table — while the larger vase makes a bold statement, whether showcasing vibrant blooms, sculptural branches, or standing alone as a striking glass centrepiece.
