Edifice Vase 40cm

£8,019.00

The tallest piece in the Edifice collection, and its most architectural. Two softly rounded porcelain bodies are stacked one above the other, which turns the vase into something closer to a small tower than a vessel.

The gold handles hold the structure together. They bridge the upper and lower volumes and continue down to the base, where they become the feet that carry the piece. Vertical gold lines run between them and set the proportions, the way a column’s fluting sets its height.

Each vase is made to order and handmade at the Meissen manufactory, where the gold is applied by hand. At 40 cm it is a piece to give space to: on a plinth, in a niche, or at the end of a long view.

A London design studio making objects that endure. Across furniture, lighting, tableware, textiles, and beyond.

  • Founded by Bodo Sperlein in 2000, the studio is based at Oxo Tower Wharf on London's South Bank. Trained at the University of the Arts London, Bodo has spent over two decades building a practice defined by material precision and a quiet confidence in craft. Work from the studio is held in permanent museum collections and appears on tables in Michelin-starred restaurants around the world..

  • Every project starts with research — into material, history, and the specific logic of what is being made. The studio works at the intersection of traditional techniques and contemporary sensibility, looking for the tension between the two rather than smoothing it over. The result is work that has a reason to exist and is made to last.

  • The studio's output spans collections — furniture, lighting, tableware, wallpaper, textiles — alongside art direction, exhibition design, and bespoke commissions. For clients, this extends to consultancy: product strategy, creative direction, and brand positioning for manufacturers who want to reach new audiences without losing what makes them distinctive.

  • The studio collaborates with leading international manufacturers across furniture, lighting, tableware, and textiles. Recent partners include Meissen, Lobmeyr, Dibbern, GAN Rugs, LZF Lamps, Schotten & Hansen, and Gravelli — brought together most visibly through the studio's annual Menu exhibition at Milan Design Week, which Bodo has curated since 2024. Longer-standing relationships with brands such as Dior, Swarovski, Mulberry, and Nikko reflect the studio's position across both luxury fashion and design manufacturing.
