Our mission is to bring beauty, elegance, and enchantment into the lives of our discerning clients through exceptional creations that inspire and captivate. At the heart of Ambelier beats energy and a deep belief that beauty resides within each of us. Our products strongly reference numerology, astrology, and the richness of feminine energy. The brand's founder, Anna Merkel, an astrological Aries, draws inspiration from her own nature her undeniable charisma, strength, and determination intertwine with subtlety, sensitivity, and gentleness. It is this spectrum of feminine traits and emotions warmth, dedication, and a fiery temperament that you will find in every object. Ambelier is synonymous with uniqueness. We believe that true beauty lies in imperfections and authenticity. That's why our ceramics and glass are produced in small, family-owned manufactories in Poland and the Czech Republic, with unwavering attention to every detail.

Our goal is to preserve the craftsmanship of past generations while imbuing products with contemporary sensibility and unconventional design.

Eight horns on a crystal vase

The Aries Crystal Vase is a large rounded body of crystal with eight ram's horns growing from it. Its sibling, the Aries Crystal Rainbow Vase, has the same horns and a cut that splits light into colour across a table. The horn is the ram's, and the ram is Aries, the sign of Anna Merkel, who founded AMBELIER and named its main series after herself in that roundabout way. Numerology and astrology run through the catalogue: the glasses take their names from constellations, and the thirteen objects on this page are all, one way or another, about the sky.

The same motif moves onto the table in white ceramic. The Aries White Vase with Horns is smooth and matte, horns at the shoulder. The Aries White Plate, the Aries Bowl, the Aries White Cup and the Aries Espresso Cup each carry a single white horn as handle or ornament; the Aries Cup with Platinum Horn paints that horn in platinum by hand, and the Aries Platinum Vase with Platinum Horns coats the whole piece. Together they make a tableware set that is recognisably one family, and the vases join The Oblist's white decorative vases. Everything is made in small, family-run workshops in Poland and the Czech Republic, finished by hand, and AMBELIER's position is that the resulting differences between two cups are the work, not a defect.

Four glasses, four constellations. The Virgo Wine Glass carries low sculptural relief on the bowl. The Serpens Glass twists its stem into a spiral. The Crater Glass has a bowl pulled out of true, so no two pours sit the same. The Camelopardalis Champagne Coupe, named for the giraffe of the northern sky, closes the set. They are made for use at the table as much as for a bar cabinet, and sit among the crystal glassware at The Oblist. AMBELIER works with traditional glass and ceramic craftsmen and asks them for forms they would not draw themselves; that is the whole programme.

Materials, dimensions and finishes are given on each AMBELIER product page. Interior designers, architects and hospitality professionals who wish to specify the vases or glassware for a project can work with The Oblist through the Architect Trade Program.
