“The collection is the outcome of group research interrogating glass objects of varied ethnic and historical origins — Lebanese, Italian, Egyptian and French to name a few. Each final piece is a hybrid object, juxtaposing and challenging possibilities, to create surprising, eclectic, multicultural objects. Importantly the designers worked closely with each other and Massimo Lunardon throughout the process, permitting a vocabulary to be built together, from the initial drawings to the free blowing of the objects in the Artisan Workshop. The richness of Shared Glass is in the tension between community and uniqueness, characterized by the particular mix of interesting people, and what is possible when they talk together around a table.”
