Oblate

Oblate

Oblate is a collection of mouth-blown vessels defined by a flattened spherical body and a pillar stem that locates precisely into a hollow walnut base. The combination of clean glass forms above and rich, dark walnut below gives each piece its mixed-material character. Versatile pieces serve as vases, lanterns, planters or decorative bowls.

The oblate spheroid - a sphere flattened at the poles, a form that appears throughout the natural world from planets to persimmons. The collection pairs that geometric shape with warm, grained walnut bases for a visual contrast between cool glass and warm timber.

Each glass vessel is mouth-blown by skilled European glassblowers, with the pillar stem shaped into the base during blowing. Walnut bases are turned and hollowed by timber specialists to receive the stem with a precise, secure fit.

Crafted from clear glass for the flattened spherical vessel and solid dark walnut for the hollow base. The two materials are chosen for their contrast - smooth glass against grainy timber - both natural, both honest about their origin.

LSA Oblate Collection

Defined by a flattened spherical body and a pillar stem that locates precisely into a hollow walnut base, Oblate is a collection of mouth-blown vessels where two materials carry the design. The combination of clean glassy forms above and rich organic timber below gives each piece its mixed-material character - the smoothness of mouth-blown glass contrasted against the grain of dark walnut. Versatile and expertly crafted, Oblate pieces serve variously as vases, lanterns, planters or decorative bowls, with the flattened spherical shape lending itself equally to flowers, candles, small succulents or displayed collections. Each glass vessel is produced by skilled European glassblowers, while the walnut bases are turned and hollowed by timber specialists to receive the pillar stem securely. Walnut is a dense, dark European hardwood whose grain reads richly against the clean glass forms, and its weight gives the composition real stability. Oblate is for homes that value mixed-material craft and the contrast between industrial-precise glass and natural grainy timber.
