Off Portugal

Glass Cares presents the experiments of ten Portuguese designers that work with the country’s traditional mouth-blowing glass technique. #MDW2017

Off Portugal for Glass Cares
The Off Portugal initiative will be launched during this year’s Milan Design Week at Ventura Lambrate. The ten glass pieces on display were developed during a two-days workshop residency in Marinha Grande, a region known for its glass blowing tradition.

 

The event brought together the process, curiosity, and desire to experiment of the young designers with the artistry and established know-how of the local craftsmen. The designers’ approach extended beyond formal experimentation or a refreshing of traditional glass design shapes; instead, the prevailing principle was first to understand the glass blowing process and then to introduce variations to its technique that often had surprising results. The final forms of the objects emerge from a decisive change introduced to the traditional glass blowing process.
