Taika is Finnish for magic: the spell that holds three materials, three countries and three pairs of hands in a single silhouet.Designed to be both visually impactful and beautiful ly tactile, these large vessels highlight the interplay between porous ceramic, smooth hand-turned wood, and translucent artisan-blown glass. Their generous proportions amplify each material's natural character, making them a functional artwork for the modern home. When disassembled, each vessel separates into three individual components:– A large glass bowl– A large ceramic bowl– A wooden container or lid Originally designed and prototyped in 2013 (and called Transformed Stacking Vessel) , Taika Vessel reflects our long-standing commitment to timeless design and thoughtful craftsmanship. Each element is handmade in Europe by expert artisans: Czech Republic – Elegant artisan-blown glass with a subtle, luminous finish Italy – Rich, textured handmade ceramic shaped with traditional methods Finland – Smooth, warm turned wood crafted in small-batch studios The components are then transported to our facility in Northern Germany, where each piece is assembled by hand with care and precision. Taika Vessels are not only a functional object—they are statement piece that reflect the soul of European artisan tradition and modern design thinking. Show more
