Reed is a series of exclusive vases in clear, amber and moss green glass and is the result of a collaboration between MFDS and the Swedish heritage glass-works brand Orrefors. In the creation of Reed, we began the design process by creating three-dimensional sketches in cardboard inspired by the texture of the rocky cliffs of Capri. The vases were given a strong character by emphasizing the mold lines instead of hiding them. When the sketch was transferred to glass, the distinct lines took on a sense of organic movement with a gentle sway in the glass. 


The reed collection won a Red Dot Award 2023
