The KANA x La Soufflerie Capsule Collection: Earth, Water and Air – a limited edition collection.
I am very excited to show you my new work, a collaboration that I'm really proud of with the recycled glass cooperative in Paris called La Soufflerie.
I worked with them to create a cast of my sculpture work and I so happy with the result: a hand-blown, limited edition glass carafe that so perfectly echoes my original ceramic piece. They look so ideal together, like a bubble of air holding water next to a very earthy vessel in clay.
A WATER / WINE CUP - handblown from recycled glass , following the shape of my "by hand' ceramic cups
WATER WINE JUG / Vase - Sebastian is amazingly talented plaster mould maker from Paris. He immediately understood my vision and made a mould based on my sculptural vase / jug, and each mould only lasts a limited amount (20 pieces). each run will come numbered and completely unique.
La Soufflerie is a non-profit, family owned and operated cooperative, established in 2007 and run by Sebastien and Valentina Nobile (husband and wife) that aims to preserve the ancestral art of glassblowing. They use traditional tools and processes to create original, timeless products from recycled glass. These unique tableware designs are then handblown by their expert glassblowing craftsmen. Their collections of ethical, artisanal glassware are stocked in selected boutiques around the world.
