More than Jewelry!
The idea that jewelry can can stand apart from the body was the key idea for Veronika and me when we designed this limited series of objects. We wanted to create something together and break out of our comfort zone of metal, we were both fascinated by the materiality of glass. Glass is fragile yet durable; it can be shaped and used in almost any way. Light and color are magically attracted to its surface.
In our work together we have created unique and functional glass objects. With the support of Cristallerie Schönberg from Rheinbach, we were able to realize our ideas.
The complete collection is available here !

Our glasses are hand-blown from borosilicate glass and completely handmade in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

While a professional and experienced glassblower made the glasses and carafes we designed, we were particularly interested in additionally experimenting with the "slumping" method as it gave us the freedom to hand-build a mold into which sheets of glass were then melted. We love the idea of combining design with experimental and intuitive craftsmanship.
