101 Copenhagen Bakku Vase - Smoked Forest Designed by Kristian Sofus Hansen & Tommy Hyldahl

Bakku Vase by 101 Copenhagen, designed by Kristian Sofus Hansen and Tommy Hyldahl, expresses the brand’s sculptural sensitivity—blending natural movement with refined restraint across its object collections. Crafted from mouth-blown glass and shaped in a custom mold, the vase draws its name from the Japanese word Bakku, meaning “bag.” Each piece begins as molten glass heated to 1500 degrees, expanded with air, then cooled, tempered, and hand-polished. The result is a soft, fluid silhouette that appears to fold in on itself, evoking the shape of a gently collapsed bag. Spray-painted in Smoked Forest, the finish reveals bronze undertones that enhance the vase’s sculptural presence. Natural air bubbles and delicate contour shifts reflect the artisanal process behind every form. Waterproof and available in Medio and Big sizes, the vase accommodates fresh floral arrangements while preserving its sculptural integrity. Whether placed on raw oak, stone ledges, or dark lacquered surfaces, it catches and reflects light differently throughout the day. The form brings movement to still compositions without overpowering them. Bakku is designed for interiors that value quiet expression and refined irregularity. True to 101 Copenhagen’s philosophy, the piece emphasizes thoughtful construction over ornament—letting form and material speak with clarity and intention.
