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 Ibushi series combines the luster of glass with the look and feel of oxidized metal for a uniquely beautiful balance of textures. Inside the vessel, you can see the glossy and vibrant colours of the glass, while the outside has been smoked with sulfur to give it a glowing matte look that resembles metal. The result is a spectacular mix of textures in one flawless product.
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.
Please hand wash. Handle with care and avoid strong physical shocks.
Don’t expose to extreme temperature changes in microwave or dishwasher.
FRESCO
Since 2005
Osaka, Japan
* * *
After more than 20 years of experience in glass industrial art, the brand Fresco was launched in 2005 by Takeshi Tsujino.
Placing an importance on the combination of Tsujino’s credibility with the uniqueness and originality of handblown glassware, Fresco creates reliable and purposeful glass products designed to encourage new relationships between the user and their environment.
The name “fresco” means “fresh” in Italian. The theme of fresco is “to coexist the ‘reliability’ of brand and ‘originality’ as handmade crafts.” Fresco treasures the relationship of people through the glassware.
All products are crafted entirely by hand in Osaka, Japan, with the belief that each item will become an extension of the users own expression. Such diligent handling of materials is motivated by the possibilities of what glass can offer to our modern living environments and how it can unite and harmonize with the space around it.
Just as water only becomes visible when light reflects on it, so does Fresco glassware create an aura in the air by reflecting the light, revealing its true colours, and peacefully making itself known in a given space.
