Glass as Sculpture, Moser’s Ode to Brutalism

Moser's Magnus collection channels brutalist architecture into hand-blown crystal — bold, sculptural vases that blur the line between vessel and monument.

A crystal vase from Moser's Magnus collection, hand-blown in Bohemia with a bold faceted silhouette that channels the raw visual weight of brutalist architecture — a luxury glassware series that applies the aesthetic principles of mass and geometric tension to a form traditionally associated with transparency and delicacy

Moser’s new Magnus collection reimagines brutalist architecture in the form of bold, beautiful, sculptural crystal vases.

Designed by Jan Plecháč, each piece is hand-blown using centuries-old techniques, with layered topaz and blue glass creating striking gradients of yellow-green.

We love the forms, shapes, and angles, which pair smooth curves with hard, chamfered angles.

The result is a powerful fusion of geometry and craftsmanship. It’s modern, monumental, and unmistakably Moser. Learn more on Dezeen.
