ultra-modern & innovative, it is easy to see why the block glas collection by rosenthal won the design award design plus in 2005 at the frankfurt show. the pieces are made using a complex sanding and engraving process. like sculptures, the blocks are cut, sanded, & polished until it culminates in a completed object. the smooth, soft, organic inner shapes are covered by crystal clear, hard, geometric shapes – this interplay between contrasting forms turns each piece into an object of art. all the block glas items are made from high quality crystal.
