These Hand Made Glass Objects Will Light Up Any Room

Designer Helle Mardahl makes clever glass designs that add a playful twist to your home without the added clutter. Focusing mainly on lamps, lidded jars, and vases, each of her pieces is handmade from colorful hand-blown glass.

“The philosophy behind every collection comes from being an artist and having close and personal contact with the work that is created from start to finish,” Mardahl writes on her website. “When I design, I cherish working closely with talented craftsmen who understand my storytelling and aesthetics. Furthermore, I value quality at its very best.”

Mardahl adds that she likes exploring “the contrast between organic shapes and hard materials.” Her thoughtful designs light up the room, quite literally, and are equally capable of standing alone or blending in.

Her creations have also been exhibited around the world and she has received several grants from the Danish Arts Council. Take a look at some of our favorites of hers.
