“This is glassware that I created together with the makers at Toyama Glass Workshop organized by Toyama General Design Center where I was invited to participate in the Toyama Design Wave glassware workshop for professionals. It was extremely difficult to create the color that I wanted and I ended up creating about 100 samples. ”
