niXe bowl

2024
borosilicate glass
D 240 mm x H 675 mm


Receptacle crafted entirely from borosilicate glass, it embodies an inverted transparent dome held by three black-and-white equidistant striped pylons, each ending in a distinct milky color. Blown and assembled by the hand of a master glassmaker, the Nixe bowl contrasts through the use of complementary glass, creating an open, weightless system that, due to its clear-cut geometry, can be suspended in perfect equilibrium, enabling it to rotate around its axis. When placed at the center of a granite water pedestal, it transforms into a fortune wheel, where the users can formulate a question, assign an omen to each color, and give it a spin. Once the system comes to a stop, the answer will be revealed by the position of the nearest pylon.
