ARTISTS STATEMENT

We work within the traditions of the Decorative Arts. More specifically the manufacturing of glass vessels.
While we make the objects we like to see in the world, we are building a body of work that will be coherent as
it evolves over time. Whilst our everyday work practice is heavily influenced by our former lecturer Klaus Moje
our aesthetic goals are set in the direction of artists and designers such as Paolo Venini, Isamu Noguchi,
Ingeborg Lundin and Venetian maestro Lino Tagliapietra.
