The Glass collection by Clive Lonstein melds geometric precision and sculptural depth in his debut collaboration with STUDIOTWENTYSEVEN. Each piece is made from thick molten glass crafted by artisans in Oakland, California, and presented in jewel-toned hues including bronze topaz, electric cobalt, smokey gray, opaque black, and clear ice. Dining, console, side, and coffee tables are all part of the series, each defined by offset geometries that combine bold architectural rigor with the organic qualities of glass.
As light moves across the surface, the furniture transforms throughout the day, shifting in tone and casting colored shadows that amplify its sculptural quality. The work reflects Lonstein’s architectural training, translating minimalist precision into richly textured forms that balance drama with everyday functionality. The result is a collection that treats glass not only as a medium of transparency but as a material of structure, depth, and luminous character.
