“Glass abstract flower” by Jan Exnar for Beranek f. M. U. K.
Description
What I like
tex I like this glass sculpture, because, handmade, it was created by an artist who is exhibited in major museums. The large flower is a pop ode to life, with its stylization and primary colors. It awakens all interiors with its curved lines.
The glass, very flexible in the foot and transparent, draws a large flat flower, with very colorful rhythms: one thinks of some dazzling sunflower: both discreetly figurative and abstract, this unique sculpture gives a singular touch to a interior. Its large size gives it a strong presence, enhanced by the play of light on the glass.
Placed on a coffee table, on a sideboard or a shelf, this large flower brings spring: what happiness!

Mix & Match
A work of art, this very colorful sculpture awakens all interiors, even the most classic ones. We will put it on the white table of the Orsay set by Gae Aulenti: same sleek design, same lightness. But it will also find its place on one of the tables in the style of Willy Rizzo with a smoked glass top or on the large walnut desk and chrome base from the Banque de France, removing its too imposing side.
This sculpture will give tone to the beautiful Grass Hoper armchairs by Sonja Wasseur, more austere with their dark brown leather.
On the walls, I will make it resonate with Edgard Pillet’s “Composition”, a masterpiece of geometric abstraction: isn’t it in the two questions of circles and colors? But the large flat areas, some of which are also orange, of Daniel de Linière’s tapestry, “Nuit d’Espagne” will find an echo with the sculpture of Jan Exnar.
It can even bring a touch of colorful modernity to a more classic interior, in particular on a console table in rococo gilded wood.
