Gerippte Vase aus grünem Stella-Glas

The creation of each handcrafted glass piece begins not with raw material, but with thoughtful regeneration. Selected remnants of glass — once part of another story — are carefully sorted, finely crushed, and prepared for a new beginning. These delicate fragments are then guided through a meticulous melting process, where they are refined and transformed in furnaces exceeding 1,500°C (2,732°F). What emerges is not simply molten glass, but a luminous, living medium—ready to be reshaped with intention. In the hands of a skilled artist, this molten form is gathered and handblown using age-old techniques, shaped gently with breath and movement. As the vessel takes form, a distinctive texture is applied entirely by hand — a process that creates soft ripples and organic impressions across the surface. No moulds. No machinery. Just the quiet dialogue between glass and maker. Each impression reflects human touch, capturing light in a way that celebrates individuality and imperfection as art. This is not just the story of how something is made. At its core, this process honours the planet: giving new purpose to existing material, reducing energy use, and creating with future generations in mind. Every piece becomes a testament to slow design, circular craft, and the beauty of mindful making.
