Designer
Frederike Martens
Trained as an industrial designer with a particular emphasis on glass and ceramics at the Design School in Halle, Germany, Frederike Martens (born 1987) has a rare talent for pure and strikingly simple shapes, and a preference for colours that will stand the test of time. With her impeccable sense of balance and proportion, Frederike work displays a special sensitivity to how materials work, both alone and together. However, for the young designer the practical usability of any given item is equally important. The Sablo tableware line, comprising 18 distinct items, was her first design project for blomus – and has now been followed up by the Ceola vase.
BELO GLASSWARE
The BELO glassware series by Frederike Martens is made of high-quality, mouth-blown glass - which can be seen in small irregularities such as flow lines, small blisters and minimally different material thicknesses, which lets the colour elegantly varies from piece to piece. The big volume glass bodies are coloured through, the stem stays clear.
CEOLA - DESIGN BY FREDERIKE MARTENS
The small opening at the top is ideal to highlight a single long stemmed flower or twig. The bottle shaped vase will not bend or break the stem.
FRESH COLOURS FOR A YOUNG CLASSIC
The simple, highly functional, no-nonsense design of the Sablo tableware range by designer Frederike Martens has already proved a hit, and the young blomus classic has now arrived in two brand new colours that will be sure to light up your everyday table setting.
