Handblown glass accessories, pastel shades and this year’s colour palettes to give the living space that oomph

Glass art is an age-long tradition dating back to the Roman Empire. Refined by artisans across hundreds of years, glassmaking styles have evolved, bringing us an array of options today. A glassmith or gaffer manipulates molten glass by introducing air into a glass bubble—this process is done repeatedly and meticulously to create specific designs and colourways. Behind these elegant final products is a rigorous process that requires not only technique and skill but also intricate artistry. Amongst the most famous glass art hubs in the world, many flock to Venice, Italy where this tradition has been preserved and concentrated in the island of Murano since the 13th century.

Here are some beautiful picks that double as art pieces and handy homeware.
