The glass that is usually found in science laboratories is the glass that makes Bump; an artistic take on the process or the science of drinking a cup of tea or watering the plants. Borosilicate is a lightweight and durable type of glass that can withstand high temperatures. It is usually seen as plain colorless laboratory glassware, but here, it is infused with a somewhat rare combination of translucent pink and glossy black and is the centerpiece of your table.

Inspired by laboratory apparatus, Bump is an exercise in the manipulation of the conical, spherical and tubular building blocks that we love to play with, of double-walled glassmaking and a play in transparency and translucence.

quote from tomdixon.net

By using a unique engineered graphite mold, each piece is individually mouth-blown into conical, spherical, and tubular shapes. The collection includes a jug, a teapot, teacups, and 3 different double-walled glass vases.

Combining these rather unusual translucent geometries with the craft of double-walled glass introduces a certain ritual in an everyday act. It celebrated the process of measuring, brewing, steaming, cooling, pouring, and preserving rather than the end result by revealing the transformative alchemy that takes place inside.

The Bump is a handmade product and variations will appear in individual items. They are incredibly delicate pieces that cannot be placed in a dishwasher. The color of the pieces may change over time due to the character of the glass material.
