Linea
Linea Candlesticks, 2023
Linea derives its name from the creative act of making a line, the first expression of a design, and from its linearity as it transitions from candlestick to candle. The transparent base extends seamlessly into a tall slender candle. Minimal in form, the design seeks to embody the magical effect of candlelight rendering it weightless, transforming the appearance of the candle, as if floating, suspended in mid-air. Linea is handcrafted in the Czech Republic of borosilicate glass.

Splash
Splash Vase, 2018
Vintage objects, especially ones that have fallen out of cultural use, often serve as a point of departure for new works. This visually active two-part vase redefines and updates the flower frog, which was at its height of popularity in the United States in the mid-1920s to the 1930s, and whose origin can be traced back to the 16th century in Europe. The frog plunges within and floats above the water vessel below. Each flower frog’s hole pattern is unique, created at just the right moment in the molten state of glassforming. Splash is handcrafted in the Czech Republic of borosilicate glass.
