Tumbler, Set of Two
Free collection available from EH6 6AL
A set of two tumblers, designed by GRAS in collaboration with glass artist Edmond Byrne. Each piece is hand-blown, then while still hot, the form is baptised in cold water, shocking the mineral with a crackled texture. Asymmetry, light-play and textural depth define the vessels’ character, while subtly tapered shapes ensure functionality and stability.

" Our intention with the collection was
to distil and communicate the value of
physical creation: the use of both hand
and mind to explore the potential of
material and form.
This age-old pursuit holds life-affirming
benefits that are self-evident to the maker. ”

" In our collaborative process there was
dialogue that explored the boundaries
between architecture, interiors, product
and making… ”
