Entirely handblown in Osaka, Japan, Fresco creates reliable and purposeful glass products designed to encourage new relationships between the user and their environment, with the belief that each item will become an extension of the users own expression. Just as water only becomes visible when light reflects on it, so does Fresco glassware, creating an aura in the air by reflecting the light, revealing its true colours, and peacefully making itself known in a given space.

The 1.9m Bowl features a delicate yet sturdy base, creating a uniquely beautiful silhouette that can be used for eating or for displaying items such as flowers, snacks, jewellery and more. Inspired by the stone garden of the Ryoanji Temple in Kyoto, the 1.9M glassware line carefully considers the relationship between the outside and the inside. The earthen wall of the Ryoanji Temple is designed at the perfect height so that when a person sits on the pedestal and looks straight at it, the boundary between the wall and the scenery outside comes to exactly that height. Just like the glassware, the stone garden is the “vessel” that connects the inner and outer environments.

The earthy brown exterior of the glass is contrasted with a soothing mottled white interior. 

*Please note:

Because the raw materials of coloured glass are made of natural minerals, colours do not come out the same every time. Please expect to see variations in colour from the items pictured.
