Tier

The Tier Collection is a trio of mouth-blown glass vases and lanterns built on a clear geometric principle - a series of stacked, interlocking shapes that create a sculptural silhouette. The forms work as vases for simple stems and as standalone decorative objects when empty. Each piece is blown into a metal mould with a flat cut and polished rim.

Tier takes its cues from post-modern architecture - the stacked geometric volumes and interlocking shapes that define buildings by architects such as Aldo Rossi and James Stirling. The emphasis is on quiet structural rhythm rather than sculptural drama.

Each piece is mouth-blown by a skilled glassmaker into a metal mould, which allows the stacked geometric profile to come out crisply and consistently across the trio. The rim is cut and polished flat for a clean, modern finish.

Crafted from clear glass thick enough to hold the architectural form confidently and to give each piece a substantial feel in the hand. The undecorated material lets the geometry remain the primary subject.

LSA Tier Collection

A trio of mouth-blown glass vases and lanterns built on a clear geometric principle - a series of stacked, interlocking shapes that create a sculptural silhouette. The forms lend themselves equally well as vases holding simple stems and as standalone decorative objects when empty. The design reference is post-modern building design, where structures frequently use stacked geometric volumes - a cylinder set on a cube, a stepped tower rising from a base. Tier translates that language into glass, blowing each piece into a metal mould that produces clean precise transitions between each tier of the form. The rim is cut and polished flat, giving the top of each piece a crisp, modern edge. The collection includes vases and lantern-vase hybrid pieces in different heights, allowing them to work singly or in grouped arrangements. A single Tier vase on a console table can hold its own as a sculptural object; two or three pieces grouped together create a still-life that works in modernist or contemporary interiors.
