Vase Taka Miel

The vase is named for Taka, the owner of HP Deco in Tokyo, who came to the La Soufflerie workshop in Paris asking for something specific: a tall, straight-sided vase with a single hand-applied band at the neck. Taka filled his rooms with them. The shape has been part of the catalogue ever since. The Vase Taka is mouth-blown by hand in Paris, from 100% recycled glass - bottles and broken windows folded back into the furnace and given another life. The band at the neck is applied separately: a second length of molten glass laid around the body while it is still warm, then fused by hand. No two bands sit at quite the same height, or at quite the same thickness. The miel is a deep, warm honey - amber in daylight, almost bronze when light passes through it. Exclusive to Australia.
