This kiln-formed glass vessel is a visually striking piece inspired by Sophie Taeuber-Arp’s 1942 drawing , "Croisement de droites, plans" (Crossing of lines planes) echoing her dynamic abstraction style. The design incorporates bold, intersecting black lines that create a sense of movement and structure against the white background. The vibrant color palette of red and blue adds contrast and energy, with the translucent hues glowing under light, creating an interplay of reflection and shadow.

The vessel's form is open and inviting, with its curved surface amplifying the layered effects of the design. The use of precise, sweeping arcs and geometric interplay mirrors Taeuber-Arp's signature modernist compositions, translating her aesthetic into a three-dimensional medium. The balanced proportions of the colors and forms give it a harmonious yet bold character, making it a modern tribute to one of the pioneers of abstract art.
