Early in his existence man transformed the gifts of nature and created objects in his own image. His imagination and creativity led him to shape vases and clay pots, he decorated his Temples and Churches with bronze statues and he used glass jewels ornaments to seduce.

All over the world, on the banks of the Tigris and Euphrates, from the Nile through China and the Indies, the techniques have improved and brought unique masterpieces to life. This know-how has been passed from generation to generation down to the present day.

Today, artists still shape hand-blown glass artwork, craftsmen hand-shape and polish BULL & STEIN bronze apples, cultivating a thousand-year old tradition. The mere heat of their hands combined with delicate moves of a caress reshape the clay into unique ceramic sculptures.

BULL  & STEIN sustains this heritage, travelling the world, searching for craftsmen who perpetuate traditional, ancestral techniques: Artists able to express feelings that reach the heart of the child in us – Masters in their field, who look for beauty and purity that can touch the soul and set our senses in motion – Sculptors who leave the impress of their fingers on their artwork, such a signature – making it unique.

BULL  & STEIN calls on and commissions the best factories in Brasil, Portugal, India and Hungary – centres of traditional craftsmanship.

BULL & STEIN is unique:

• Unique like „Transparences“, hand-blown glass apple-shaped sculptures made up of sand
• Singular like clay and organic pigments combining and becoming giant „fruits céramiques“
• Inimitable like tin and copper bringing life to timeless „cast bronze“, impressive apple-shaped bronze sculptures
