Sequence
Designer: Natalia Ogneva @ Designer on fire for Artel
The glass objects: mouth blown and acid etched.
Lines: straight, diagonal, parallel, intersecting.
Process: extremely laborious as each line is hand painted by Czech master artisans. Each glass takes more than a day to finish.
Inspiration: Joseph Hoffman designs.
Result: Striking, stunning glass vessels, I am unable to take my eyes off!
What you say?
glass knives
Designer: Noa Bembibre + a group of 13 University Art and Design students for The New Dining Luxury joint project
The designer isn’t satisfied borrowing inspiration from tradition of only few hundred years. In fact she goes million years back and finds her inspiration in Stone Age tools.
And then designs these modern glass knives!
What you say have we progressed?! 🙂

As I was away from blogging for past few days, info about Bombay Sapphire Designer Glass Competition 2008 remained in my mail unread!
And I missed the competition in which I myself have liked to participate! The competition closed yesterday.
The Designer Glass Competition is an annual event held to recognize excellence among emerging design talent. The global competition final will take place in September during the London design festival.
Here are few stunning martini cocktail glass designs from Bombay Sapphire Designer Glass competition 2007’s finalists:
The inspiration for ‘Bangle’ glass (above) was the culture of jewels in India! The delicate bracelet, a bangle of gold lends an element of nobility and quality which serves to unite the separate elements of glass.
