Compressed Glass Bud Vases

Glassmateria Studio Launched its Unique Slimline Vase Collection

— August 24, 2021 — Art & Design
The Slimline Vase collection by Glassmateria Studio is a modern take on the bud vase. The brainchild of Costa Rica-based designer Natalia Phillips, the Slimline collection was inspired by childhood imagination. Phillips plats with height, thickness, and color to create slim glass vases.

The collection is made using a fused glass technique that allows the designer to join, superimpose, and shape the glass. A special kiln is used to reach extremely high temperatures and enable the glass to take on its compressed vase shape. The playful collection features geometric shapes, making for a unique addition to the modern home. Available in various colors and heights, the vases can be used individually or placed together to create a colorful landscape.
