Gemstone vase, peridot Nienke Sikkema for HKLIVING

Shaped like an oversized gemstone, this glass vase balances sharp definition with soft, faceted surfaces. The gently angled planes catch and bend the light, giving the piece depth and movement from every viewpoint. Sculptural in presence yet functional in use, it stands confidently on its own or as a vessel for branches or flowers — a statement object that feels both refined and raw.Working with glass artist Nienke Sikkema felt less like a collaboration and more like stepping into another universe. Her world is one of molten timing, controlled chaos, and shapes that behave like carved light. Together we created a family of glass objects that feel like contemporary gemstones — heavy, luminous, and a little unruly.
