Miles

Another lighting addition to the Lasvit collection family, introduced at the 2023 Milan Design Week, is the collection created in collaboration with the designer duo Yabu Pushelberg. Miles draws inspiration from the many parallels between music-making and glass blowing. "The process of developing Miles was liberating. With the exceptional craftsmanship offered by Lasvit and a deep understanding of our design intent, we were able to transcend the physical limitations of crafting artisanal glass and dream without constraints," say George Yabu and Glenn Pushelberg about the new collection. Formally, the collection clearly references brass instruments, which comes to mind when observing Lasvit's craftspeople blowing glass. (Craftsmen in the glassworks use a special pipe with a mouthpiece on one end and hot glass on the other. They blow air into it and create glass-blown pieces.) Less evident is the constant balance that must be maintained when pushing glassmaking to its limits—a balance between innovation and the physical constraints of the material and techniques. We can see a similar balancing act performed during a trumpet player's solo or a jazz vocalist's scat.
