Edifice Vase 70cm

£14,900.00

The culmination of the Edifice collection. The rounded volumes of the smallest vase are stacked here, one upon another, to a height of 70 cm, so the form that sits in a hand at No. 1 rises to stand on the floor.

The gold handles become the structure itself. They link each porcelain body to the next and come to rest at the base as feet. Vertical gold lines run the full height without a break, and against the white porcelain they read like the lines of a column drawn in elevation.

The vase is handmade and hand-painted at the Meissen manufactory, and at this scale it is a demanding piece to make. It belongs to architecture as much as to the table: in a hallway, beside a staircase, or anchoring a large room.

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.
