Piet Heins verdenskendte Superellipse danner grund for en ny serie af vaser og skåle fra Piet Hein.

Piet Hein vasen er fremstillet i mundblæst blyfrit glas i forskellige farver.
Vasens klassiske form kommer smukt til udtryk, hvad enten det er med et par enkelte blomster,
en buket eller som en skulptur i sig selv.

Mine egne erfaringer: Jeg er vokset op i et hjem hvor vi havde Piet Hein lamper, som har et smukt og tidløs design og giver en behagelig lys.
