Going beyond the concept of a traditional brand, Bachner Vessels establishes itself as a multifaceted contemporary praxis-studio dedicated to the study and exploration of the vessel in all its semantic interpretations. Porcelain becomes an expressive medium and a complex of colours, textures, and forms.
The studio also embraces collaboration, partnering with artists and designers on different projects through which it explores modes of expression and making that play a fundamental role in its own configuration.
Bachner Vessels debuts at Lotto Studio, Berlin with an installation that underscores an ongoing investigation into the possibilities of beeswax and porcelain, along with playful solutions. Each form is modelled in beeswax, slip-cast in plaster, and fired at high temperatures—from this, recursive patterns or sequences glide into signature series.
What emerges is a dedication to materiality, structure, and processes that blend the unusual with the everyday, all while pushing the boundaries of objects and sculpture by integrating them into space in a more contextual, situational manner.
Bachner Vessels translates sensory elegance into a joyful, haptic experience.

Featured Products
Figure 05, Blume
Hollow forms with holes to possibly hold flowers
Each form begins as a small hand-drawn sketch before being modelled in beeswax and converted into a negative plaster mould. Limoges porcelain is then poured into the mould. The result of this serial production process is a collection of limited editions, consisting of thirty slender, sharply defined vessels.
Form Alphabet creates a structured field of serialised shapes in which language unfolds through a playful, concise approach. Inspired by pictograms and the communicative power of visual symbols, the forms exist as a sculpture first and foremost and are rooted in explorations of three-dimensionality, colour and semantic play. But when filled with water to add a flower, the object transforms into a vase.

Drip
The mother moulds are made from beeswax blanks that are repeatedly dipped into hot wax until droplets form naturally on the underside.These droplets, “frozen” into place, now function as stands. Each wax model holds a distinct, fingerprint-like individuality, where the technique is visibly and tangibly embedded into its form.
Ephemera and the dew that settles on a blade of grass
Shallow ø27×2cm 0,3kg Deep ø22×5cm 0,3kg Each Drip piece has a distinctive drip-shaped base that captures the transition from liquid to solid, combining fluidity with durability. Designed to elevate daily moments, these vessels bring a touch of sensory delight to dining.
