The Gusto glass bowl Collection tells a story originating from a visual metaphor. The creation of an ice cream bowl made of glass that appears to rest on a slowly melting block of ice. It's as if the piece itself were melting, just like the ice cream it's meant to hold, or as if the ice base were meant to keep it cool. This collection of glass bowls can, of course, be used to hold all kinds of food, while revealing the true beauty of the handmade glass through its unique composition and shimmering effects.

The crisp, edgy feel of the glass container is balanced by the roughness and imperfection of a base whose shape and appearance are ever-changing. As you turn the glass bowl around, its shape is always different. This creates a dialogue within the piece, showcasing the combination of two different glass techniques. The container is mouth-blown, while the base is made of molten glass that is manually shaped directly onto the bottom of the container to form one solid piece. Every bowl is shaped by breath, timing and the human touch, making each object subtly unique.

Further discussions with the master glassblower expanded the possibilities of the poured glass technique used for the colored glass bases. The result is a unique base with a colored glass insert that makes it look like the color is slowly diffusing through the transparent base, taking on different and mesmerizing shapes each time.
