Interpretive Notes
The design duo Atelier NL makes glassware that embodies the essence of place. The process starts with the raw material, the company making its own glass from sand harvested from a single location. The final products are only colored by the specific elements in that sand, so that each series—each different glass they formulate—captures and makes visible the specific qualities of its origin. -Susie J. Silbert
