Glass
23cms H x 10cms Diameter
'Fortune' by Berlin-based designer Mark Braun and the esteemed Austrian glass company J & L Lobmeyr was initiated as part of Vienna Design Week. Braun's proposal for the series saw a water carafe, handcrafted by Lobmeyr, engraved with one of seven glaciers, seven lakes or seven rivers from across the globe. The collaboration between Braun, Lobmeyr and Gallery Libby Sellers includes the addition of an eighth river - London's Thames - launched exclusively at the gallery in December 2011.
