Object of Desire: ‘Feverishly Experimental’ Mouth-Blown Glassware from Berlin

March 15, 2021

Spotted recently: elegant handmade glassware by Milena Kling, a graduate of the University of Arts in Berlin who has worked with designers like Tom Dixon and brands like Farrow & Ball. Kling’s “feverishly experimental glassware” combines traditional mouth-blowing techniques with original design. All of her one-of-a-kind pieces are handmade by artisans in Berlin and the Czech Republic. Kling has created four main lines of glassware in addition to her special collections; we couldn’t choose just one favorite, so here’s a look at some of our picks.
