Globo utilises the beauty of opaque glass.
The glass generates colours that are both, solid when the light hits from the outside, and translucent when light shines from the insides. The mouth blown balloon like shape is based on the natural behaviour of blown glass. When hot glass is filled with air it grows to organic, bubble like volumes. The balloon like glass volume rests on the cylindrical base. The high quality and heavy mouth blown glass contrasts the seemingly lightweight appearance. When switched off, the two tones are contrasting each other. When switched on, the light creates a subtle blend between the two tones.
Production at Glasblazerij Leerdam at the invitation of Geertje Jacobs. Globo is available in two colour combinations. If you are interested in purchasing Globo, please send us a mail.
