Body of Glacier
During the 1970s, glass design underwent a subtle yet profound transformation: a move from clarity and smoothness toward texture and tactility. In the cold Baltic and Nordic regions, textured glass emerged as a language shaped by winter: by frozen lakes, snowbound forests, and the slow movement of light across crystalline surfaces.
In alpine Italy, glassmaking resonated with similar material codes. Glass objects became both vessel and landscape — refracting time, memory, and matter through a geometry that felt sculpted by nature itself. Texture was no longer an embellishment, but a structure — raw, luminous, and mineral. A moment suspended in time and refracted through glass.
