Color
The Karl Vase is the product of four pairs of hands, and that collaborative making is not incidental to the object but fundamental to what it is. The sculptural silhouette carries the weight of that process with complete ease, its intersecting forms suggesting something that could have emerged from the art deco period while remaining entirely and confidently contemporary. Named after Karl, husband of founder Annika, it is a piece with personal history baked into its form.
A design from Akua Objects.

Features

• A sculptural vase born from genuine collaboration, requiring four people to complete each piece, a process that ensures no two Karl vases are ever exactly the same
• The intersecting silhouette has an art deco lineage it wears lightly, bringing historical formal intelligence into a poetic and thoroughly contemporary object
• Equally at home displayed alone as a sculptural centerpiece or holding flowers in a window where the light can move through and around the form properly
• Each vase is a product of dedicated craft and the natural variation that comes from four different sets of hands working in sequence on a single object
• A piece with genuine personal history, named after Karl, husband of Akua Objects founder Annika, and carrying that intimacy in its making as much as its name
• Mouth-blown and handmade Bohemian glassware

Care Instructions

• The Karl vase is not dishwasher friendly, it needs to be cleaned by hand. The vase is not suitable for hot water.
• Given that each Akua piece is handcrafted, delicate handling is essential for their preservation. To ensure the longevity and pristine condition of your Akua glassware, please adhere to the following care instructions.
(1) Hand-wash each piece of glassware individually with warm water and a small amount of mild detergent. Use a soft sponge and gentle cleanser to avoid scratches. To avoid detergent residues, rinse the glasses thoroughly with clear water.
(2) Dry glassware promptly after washing to prevent calcium deposits. Gently use large microfiber cloths to dry the glass, avoiding excessive pressure to prevent breakage. Use the cloth to gently clean fingerprints from the outside of the glass.
(3) Use soft and dry microfiber cloths to polish the glass. Avoid applying excessive pressure or twisting parts si-multaneously, as this may cause the stem to break. Gently run the cloth along the outside to remove fingerprints.
