The Sander table, from 2010 consists of a mouth-blown crystal cone paired with a hardened circular glass tabletop.

Swedish glassmaking tradition meets high tech in this exquisite side table, consisting of a hand blown, conical base attached to a hardened glass top using ultraviolet cured adhesive.

initially, the cone is a bottle, but the base is knocked off using a cold tool against the hot glass. The basic shape is denoted by three circles, and the magic is in a neck so narrow that it looks like it might fall right off. It does not, however, because the adhesive attaching the glass tabletop is cured with a UV light. This technology can only be used on glass and makes the joint stronger than the actual material.

Hand-blown glass

Glass is a fascinating material – clear, pure and uncomplicated visually. But when you get into the process of working with it, it’s incredibly complicated. There are many rules and restrictions, so I wanted to play with contrast of how it looks so simple but needs a lot of precision in the production process.
