Vaso Termos

Anna Torfs draws on Bohemian glassblowing, a craft centered in what is now the Czech Republic with roots going back several centuries. Many of the forming and layering techniques she uses have remained largely unchanged for over 200 years.

No two pieces are exactly alike. Because the Termoska is hand-blown, natural variation in form, color depth, and surface character is inherent to the process, making each object genuinely individual.

The combination of translucent and opaque glass layers causes light to refract, absorb, and reflect in ways that shift with viewing angle and ambient lighting. The vase reads differently in morning light than it does under artificial light in the evening.

Anna Torfs is a Belgian designer who has dedicated her practice to handcrafted glass objects. She works closely with Bohemian artisans, combining European craft heritage with a contemporary formal language rooted in restraint and materiality.

Yes, the Termoska is a working vase, though its sculptural presence means it is equally compelling when empty. Its weight, proportion, and surface quality place it firmly in the category of functional art objects.
