The Ebon vase is Claesson Koivisto Rune's first collaboration with Orrefors. The Ebon series shows the unique properties of glass, where the glowing, soft mass slowly solidifies and shapes each vase into an individual creation within strict limits. The Ebon vase captures the transformation of glass from movement to stillness and is an expression of timeless design and high craftsmanship.
