The glass blower takes a portion of the liquid glass mass from the furnace onto a special tube, called a glassmaker’s blowpipe, and blows a bubble out of it.  From this spherical bubble we create objects we have designed earlier.

The glass bubble – ball – creates unlimited design possibilities. It can be combined with non-spherical glass. You can freely deform it, obtaining new, often surprising forms. Finally, various decorations can be used – in and on the glass.

Crystal glass, which is the material for our projects, spontaneously strives for sphericity – it does not like sharp edges.

The sphere is a naturally harmonious shape, commonly found in the nature that surrounds us. The ball is the most common shape in our projects.
