The Italian white opaline glow.
“Burro” Coming soon.

Where machine-made glass produces a clean, predictable transmission, a single piece of Tuscan hand-blown glass can hold a full tonal range, from near-transparency at its edges to something close to opacity at its heaviest point.

Where the glass is thinnest, at the rim of a vessel, the light passes almost freely. Where it thickens, the light slows. A quality of light closer to the way light moves through water.

The slight imperfections inherent in hand-blown glass, small bubbles suspended in the walls, minor variations in thickness, the gentle asymmetry of a form shaped by breath, scatter the light rather than directing it. The effect is diffused

Josef Hoffmann was an Austrian architect and designer who played a key role in shaping modern design as one of the founding members of the Vienna Secession.

In 1903, along with Koloman Moser and banker Fritz Wärndorfer, Hoffmann launched the Wiener Werkstatte, a group of artists and craftsmen working together to create all the elements of a complete work of art, or “Gesamtkunstwerk” including architecture, furniture, lamps, glass, metal work and textiles.
