GlasLove is a charitable design auction that creatively sells glass artwork to raise proceeds for cancer research. The project utilizes contrasting strength and fragility of the glass material as a reflection of the mentality many cancer patients face when battling through different strains of the illness. The auction brings together the artwork of various creatives that put together one-of-a-kind pieces exclusively for the show. Each item is made entirely out of glass, with all of the money raise being donated to funding research.
The auction is specially designed to be accessible to consumers in a live and online setting so that the program has a wider target range. The items featured range in style and functionality from prismatic art cube pieces for display to functional glass chairs for the home.
