Have some news for you! Our daisy ring dish is now on sale! (Not listed on Amazon yet; but available on our online store & Etsy shop → links in bio) Meanwhile, I am currently working on a color chart for this product and I'd like to hear some color combinations you'd like to see on this form! I really loved this classic white & pale yellow look and I'm sure it will turn out as great as this one in other colors too.⁣⁣⁣

Did you guys know I have a thing with pillows? I used to sew print pillows; but as I started to show progress in the punch needle technique, I wanted to make a colorful pillow with all those leftover fabric & wool in my sewing atelier. I had a blue-and-white woven fabric and I wanted to brighten it with an ethnic pattern with warm contrasts. Despite it took a day for me to make it, I couldn't be happier with the result and now I am thinking of making a square version as a complement! 😅

A few shots from the daisy project I mentioned last week. 🌼 🌞 I always make paper models to set the angles properly before jumping into glass – it also helps me to adjust petal size. For this piece, I went with 18 petals and an octagonal center piece and luckily all came perfect at once!

My new model for my new ring dish project 🌼 I'm utterly in love with all kind of daisy from wild ones to gerberas and this will be my reference for pattern drawing & paper modeling. Can't wait to see how this ring dish will turn out! 😁 Wishing you a wonderful spring weekend full of love and smiles!

Our Story

We're the husband-wife duo behind Waen®, makers with backgrounds in Architecture & Psychology. We craft geometric stuff using the Tiffany stained glass technique and we are the first makers of bright copper stained glass objects. Come & see what we have for you!

The Idea

Even in the years before we met, we have always believed in the power of creating something new and unique from scraps, instead of buying what the market offers us. After being introduced by a mutual friend, we fell in love, moved in together, and started dreaming of a less corporate and creative life that will also help us to turn our skills and interests into a lifestyle.

All started in August of 2014 – 172 years after a terrarium was accidentally discovered by English botanist Nathaniel Bagshaw Ward. Asli is a green thumb architect with a passion for geometry, and she thought of the idea for geometric terrariums back when I was working on my master’s thesis in neuroscience. I made her one as a birthday gift and she loved it, so we decided to make more together. So, Waen is born as a part of a growing movement towards owning things whose origins extended beyond an assembly line.

In time, we found out that our products also carry the rustic elegance of special wedding items, thus we specialized in making your precious moments more beautiful than it could be. Now, our product range is expanded from terrarium containers to lighting elements and we still look forward to find the new ways of bringing glass into your lives!

Inspiration

Our main inspiration comes from 13 polyhedra listed by Archimedes, which were rediscovered by artists and mathematicians during the Renaissance. We are addicted to complex shapes and their ancient roots! The thing about geometry is; despite it is giving a modern look to the object you create, it has its own ancient roots throughout centuries and we find this irony literally inspiring. Waen which means 'stained' in ancient elven language is founded with this inspiration.

Quality & Trademarks

We put all our heart into ever details of our products, from the material quality to the craftsmanship. To us, knowing our materials and the chemistry behind the process is the key to a perfect product. After endless experiments and months of hard work, we created our signature rose goldish bright copper finish, and yet we still push our limits by experimenting with different equipment and techniques.

In March 2015, we've been selected for Etsy's Featured Shops series among thousands of successful creatives. Today, we are honored to be able to share our craft with you, and look forward to continue bringing you beautiful, dramatic, resourceful pieces. We hope you find something you love!
