CRYSTAL

Nothing here is moulded.

Cobalt is cut from solid blue crystal and polished in repeated rounds — that is where the depth of colour comes from. The Wedge and Hash vases, a side table whose colour moves between opaque and translucent as you cross the room, and the Eclipse table lamp, which can be calibrated by rotating it.

Drops sets crystal spheres into solid crystal with a pigmented bond, so a shift of colour appears exactly where the two surfaces meet. The Bookends hold books on a shelf and do something else entirely near a window. The table lamp reads as though surface tension were holding it together.

Rainbow adds a dichroic film across each facet. The Paperweight sits inert until direct sunlight reaches it.

Hand-cutting leaves small bubbles and slight variations in form. Both are inherent to the process. Keep the spherical pieces out of direct sun — the glass magnifies, and that is a fire risk, not a figure of speech.
