WORDS Mary Garner
Designer Tom Dixon’s new Bump range features a collection of minimalist hand-made double-walled glass pieces, inspired by laboratory apparatus.
The design is an exercise in the manipulation of the conical, spherical and tubular building blocks so often used by Tom Dixon.
The subtle pink and light grey tonal translucency adds to the alchemical design of the pieces. The Bump collection accentuates the processes of how tea is made, how drinks are mixed and the way that flowers are arranged.
Bump is made of borosilicate, a heat-resistant (and normally transparent) glass found in science laboratories. The pieces are therefore lightweight, durable and can withstand high temperatures.
