Folk

Folk

Folk is a collection of mouth-blown drinkware and decorative pieces decorated with vibrantly coloured stripes drawn from traditional Polish Łowicki fabrics. Coloured solid glass rods are fused into the molten gather and blown into a mould, expanding the stripes into an organic pattern. The range spans a dome on ash base, bowl, container, carafe, tumbler, vase and glass.

Colourful striped glassware inspired by traditional Polish Łowicki fabrics - the bold multi-coloured striped textiles of the Łowicz region in central Poland, characterised by exuberant colour and geometric pattern. A direct visual quotation of the textile tradition translated into glass.

Clear glass is lowered into a pre-mould lined with coloured solid glass rods, fusing the rods into the gather. The combined gather is then encased in another layer of clear glass and mouth-blown into a mould, expanding the rods into striped bands.

Crafted from clear glass fused with solid coloured glass rods. The stripes become structural to the vessel, sealed within the glass rather than applied to its surface - and each piece carries slight natural variation in stripe spacing as a result.

LSA Folk Collection

The vibrantly coloured stripes of Folk are borrowed from traditional Polish costume and textile design - specifically the Łowicki fabrics of the Łowicz region in central Poland, recognisable by their exuberant colour and geometric rhythm. The collection translates that visual language into mouth-blown glass using an intricate technique. Clear glass is lowered into a pre-mould lined with coloured solid glass rods, fusing them together, and the gather is encased in another layer of clear glass before being mouth-blown into a mould. The blowing process expands the striped gather, producing an organic form with a distinctive multi-coloured pattern. The range spans a Dome & Ash Base, Bowl, Container & Ash Lid, Carafe, Tumbler, Vase and Water/Wine Glass - all sharing the same vibrant striped character and the handmade variations that come with the technique, with no two pieces alike.
