GLASS + GRANITE
year: 2013 - today
Mouth-blown glass offers certain possibilities of design as it can be formed freely and it always refers to the handicraft. When blowing the glass directly onto the stone series of unique copies emerge. The design focuses on the manufacturing process of the mouth-blown crystal glass in order to visualize it for the spectator and to play with the semantic opposite to the glass’ fragility.
Shown at various exhibitions: such as Milano Expo (2015, German pavilion) & Bauhaus-Stiftung Ulm (2019-2020).

The fragility of the glass is opposed by a material that is associated with features like hardness and resilience: stone. The granite’s hard edges and geometric moldings build a strong contrast facing the organic and smooth shaping of the glass jars. Simultaneously the stone serves as holder for the jar.
