Cubistic Vessels
The Cubistic Vessels are a meditation on geometry and light. Designed by Annette and Anselm Schaugg for GUAXS, each piece is blown and cut by hand in exclusive German factories that produce only small editions, preserving the integrity of the craft at every stage.
The forms draw directly from Cubism, the early 20th-century avant-garde movement that fractured perspective and reassembled it into something entirely new. That same tension between order and disruption lives in these vessels. Faceted planes catch and redirect light differently at every hour, giving each object a shifting, atmospheric presence.
- Handblown and hand-cut in Germany
- Available in opal, dark steel grey, and gold
- Produced in small editions for material exclusivity
- A range of geometric silhouettes to suit varied spatial compositions
The Schauggs describe the creation of new forms as a spiritual moment, and that sensibility is legible in the finished objects. These are not decorative accessories in any conventional sense. They are the result of a design practice where artistic conviction and technical precision arrive at the same answer.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are GUAXS vessels made?
Each GUAXS vessel is handblown and hand-cut by skilled artisans in exclusive German glass factories. Production runs are kept deliberately small to maintain material quality and formal precision across every piece.
What art movement inspired the Cubistic Vessels?
The Cubistic Vessels take their formal language from Cubism, the early 20th-century movement pioneered by Picasso and Braque that deconstructed three-dimensional forms into fragmented, geometric planes. GUAXS translates this visual principle into blown glass, creating objects that read differently from every angle.
What colors are available in the Cubistic collection?
The Cubistic Vessels are offered in opal, dark steel grey, and gold. Each colorway interacts with the faceted geometry in a distinct way, altering how light moves across the surface.
Are GUAXS pieces functional or purely sculptural?
Many GUAXS vessels can hold water and serve as functional vases, though their design intent is equally sculptural. They are conceived as objects that stand on their own merits regardless of use.
Who are the designers behind GUAXS?
GUAXS was founded by Annette and Anselm Schaugg, who approach each new form as a considered artistic act. Their practice is grounded in collaboration with specialized European glassmakers and a commitment to producing objects in limited quantities.
