DECO Desirable: Golden glass jars by Frauke Stegmann

We’ve always had a crush on Frauke Stegmann. We’re obsessed with anything she produces. So imagine our excitement when a bag full of Frauke’s reclaimed golden glass jars (above) arrived at DECO’s office. The gold on the rescued glass jars simulate the gold drip rims of Frauke’s much-loved and trademark porcelain series (below). ’Rejected-Reconsidered is about working with what’s already there, or has already been made, giving it a second life by reconsidering it, and turning it into a desirable object’, says Frauke, jokingly referring to this new addition to her gold series as the “glass cousins”.

And it just wouldn’t be fair if we couldn’t share in our obsession. So we’re giving away 6 of these beautiful glass containers to 2 DECO readers. All you need to do is tweet the following: ‘I want this DECO Desirable on @ELLE_Deco’s blog (+ link)’ OR comment below. That simple.

More of Frauke’s gold series will be launched early next year. Church Gift Shop (Spin Street) now stocks Frauke’s work. For more, visit ineedtimetothinkaboutwildlife.org or contact Frauke on frauke@ineedtimetothinkaboutwildlife.org

    If anything was going to make me want to stock accessories along with our contemporary furniture, it would be these. Individually gorgeous, but how beautiful would these be, three different heights clustered together with candles in for a Christmas table centrepiece?
