Recycled and handcrafted, tranSglass carafes and vases translate old-world artisanship into elegant, ecologically sound designs. Now part of the permanent collection at MOMA in New York, the set of four tranSglass Bottles, designed by Emma Woffenden and Tord Boontje, imbue old wine bottles with new, sleek, organic form. Fabricated by Guatemalan artisans, each one is hand selected and cut on a diagonal or horizontal plane with a diamond saw, its new lip then polished smooth. The result is a robust yet fluid form that is familiar yet wholly original. Each tranSglass vessel is unique, and color varies from vase to vase. One set includes two polished and two matte bottles.
