The fluid elegance of Milena Kling’s mirror sculptures
Milena Kling’s latest unveiling at Paris Design Week 2025 marks a significant evolution in her signature mirror sculptures, expanding both their aesthetic and conceptual depth. Known for redefining contemporary craftsmanship, her studio introduces new smoke green and bronze hues alongside the classic silver, bringing a renewed sense of poetic resonance to these fluid glass forms.
Since their initial debut in 2021, these sculptures have captivated curators and collectors alike, merging the boundaries between design and art through their ethereal presence. Each of these mouth-blown creations encapsulates the breath of the artisan, allowing light to interact dynamically with the surrounding space. The unique process of silvering the glass from within results in living, responsive objects that alter reflections and perceptions, immersing the viewer in a sensory experience.
The latest collection extends this dialogue by offering reimagined silhouettes that deepen the transformative qualities of the works, reinforcing their ability to distort, reflect, and connect. These sculptures not only redefine personal reflection but also establish an intimate relationship with the natural environment.
Crafted as unique originals, each piece in the Contemporary Reflections series demonstrates the mastery of glassblowing techniques, pushing the limits of materiality. The ability to customize these pieces, whether in clear silvered crystal or tailored colorways, allows for an adaptive presence in various interiors. This flexibility enhances their appeal to collectors and designers seeking to integrate a sense of movement and fluidity into curated spaces.
At the core of Studio Milena Kling’s philosophy lies an unwavering commitment to the interplay of material innovation and artistic sustainability. Since its founding in 2012, the studio has been a sanctuary for the creation of fine dining tableware, transformative lighting objects, and sculptural glass pieces. Each work is conceived to cultivate a memorable atmosphere, transcending pure functionality to enrich daily rituals with an artistic essence. The studio’s dedication to harmonizing creativity with craftsmanship ensures that every piece remains an expression of individuality, inspired by nature and guided by authenticity.
By fostering collaborations with master artisans and creative partners, the studio continuously explores new material-driven interior sculptures and bespoke designs. Every project is infused with a deep appreciation for tactility, wonder, and flow, embodying a refined approach to contemporary design. With an emphasis on the human touch, the studio continues to craft objects that seamlessly intertwine luxury and sustainability, inviting viewers to engage in an immersive dialogue with their surroundings.
