E-STONETECH


Based in Tochigi, Japan, e-stonetech has developed a distinctive approach to glass rooted in its longstanding expertise in stone craftsmanship. Quartz, optical glass, and crystallized glass are cut and polished from solid blocks using techniques originally developed for the semiconductor industry. This mastery of large-scale formats and precision machining opens up new possibilities for furniture and architectural applications, revealing levels of depth, translucency, and presence rarely associated with glass.


GOLD-DALG


Trained in scientific glassmaking, Éléonore Gold-Dalg explores the potential of hot-worked borosilicate glass through flame-working, mechanical lathe techniques, as well as engraving and sandblasting. Her mastery of these demanding processes gives rise to a formal language inspired by the living world, where precision of execution allows delicate volumes, intricate details, and finely balanced compositions to emerge.


MAISON SOMBORN VITRAIL


Maison Somborn draws on the history of the decorative arts and major aesthetic movements to develop a contemporary interpretation of stained glass. Here, colour is treated as an active material whose variations transform the perception of space throughout the day. Through both integrated architectural pieces and standalone objects, the studio explores new expressions for this traditional craft, extending it far beyond its purely ornamental function.


SANS SOUCI


Located in the heart of the Czech Crystal Valley, the historic birthplace of Bohemian glassmaking, Sans Souci employs a wide range of glassmaking techniques including blown crystal, fused glass, and slumped glass to create bespoke installations and lighting pieces. Its expertise also extends to the development of a signature nano-coating designed to enhance the durability of each piece while preserving its aesthetic qualities. An approach that combines exceptional glassmaking craftsmanship with applied innovation.


ATELIER FAUCHER


Based in Lyon, Atelier Faucher approaches stained glass as a fully integrated architectural component. By combining glass painting, wheel engraving, and thermoforming, Mélanie Faucher has developed a practice in which the material is explored for its ability to transmit, diffuse, and transform light. Created in collaboration with artists, designers, and architects, these projects investigate the potential of glass as a wall, partition, or filter for contemporary architectural applications.


PATRICIA FARAGONE


Based in São Paulo, Brazil, Patricia Faragone works with lampworked blown glass to create a universe in which objects become vehicles for storytelling. Inspired by childhood memories, everyday material culture, and the decorative arts, her pieces transform familiar references into sculptural presences. Through a vocabulary of generous, colourful forms, the artist explores the expressive potential of glass in works that lie at the intersection of design, functional objects, and installation art.
