Ferréol Babin, Balance. A carafe that seems to teeter and nearly fall, but that is in fact stable. This slight movement establishes a contrast with the horizontals and verticals of a dressed table

Left: Pascal Hien, Bloom. Bloom is a small vase to present single flowers. One, two or three glass rings hold the flowers in place forming a bouquet. Without flowers, the vase still works as a decorative object. Right: Pascal Hien, Cut&bend. Cut&bend focuses on the process of hand-blowing glass. The object gets cut, heated and bent to become a functional carafe, ready to be filled with refreshing drinks

Left: Giorgia Zanellato, Dora. DDora is a glass carafe with handles, that are extended from outside to inside the water container. The result is an unconventional handling of a conventional carafe. Right: Pascal Hien, Fanfare. Fanfare lifts fruit or cupcakes high upon a pedestal. Inspired by the horn shaped opening of a musical instrument, the food can be highlighted, separated and combined on an elegant handblown glass object

Ferréol Babin, Nage. A collection of vases and containers that play with scale and invite you to jump into the water. A glass pool ladder poetically suggests a familiar human pastime, and is set against an uncluttered clear shape

Left: Ferréol Babin, Nage. Right: Catarina Carreiras, Pegar. There are many ways of holding an object, especially when it comes to a glass dome. The different geometric handles of these domes elicit different physical interactions and gestures. By playing with their use and purpose, these multi-use objects convey individual characters to a very basic semi-spherical shape

Left: Dean Brown, Penne, maccheroni & spaghetti. A collection of glass containers to store penne, maccheroni and spaghetti. The lid handles are formed into the iconic pasta shapes and the lids themselves allow you to measure the correct portion of pasta for cooking. Right: Tomomi Maezawa, Postures. A pair of small flower vases with wine-glass-stems fit the atmosphere of the dining table. Inspired by human postures, the vases can be animated with flowers as their heads

Left: Federico Floriani, Rea. Rea is a water carafe. You fill the carafe from the top and can pour water from the front aperture into your glass in an elegant way. The handle creates a loop that allows you to easily carry the carafe, giving you a perfect grip to pour the water. Right: Giorgia Zanellato, Up. Up is a collection of glass containers that have a special place for flowers. Inside each shape, long, protruding glass tubes become the perfect place for a flower
