Story
Scientific glassware
The Flare pendants take their cue from scientific glassware. Heated glass tubes, spinning and air pressure form the crimped, welded and sculptural silhouettes of the collection.
Metal moulds
The glass is blown by mouth using a series of metal moulds, which keeps the sculptural shapes consistent from one pendant to the next.
