Set of 4 ice-like glasses, 1970s.

Each tumbler seems to hold a fragment of frozen time — its surface sculpted like ice formed under slow pressure. The tactile relief at mid-height, where the hand naturally meets the glass, recalls the architecture of glaciers: stalactites and stalagmites grown from patient repetition. The matte satin polish diffuses the light, softening its transparency, as if the material itself remembered the process of melting.

Part of Body of Glacier — a study on transparency, tactility, and the geological memory of glass. These objects oscillate between nature and design, between erosion and craftsmanship. The relief becomes a gesture of contact: a trace of the hand that shapes and the hand that holds.
