Details

Inspired by stone forms that have been smoothed and shaped over time in riverbeds, this thick and solid glass paperweight is a great addition to any desk. Slowly worked by hand into its final form, we love its substantial weight and smooth, polished finish. Whether used to secure a stack of papers, held in hand to soothe your mind, or admired on a shelf, this object is appropriate for daily use and aims to remind us of our connection to nature. 

Artist Notes

Matthew Abadi

Having discovered and fallen in love with glass during one chance encounter, Matthew Abadi quickly traded his life working a 9-5 for the life of a glassblower.

Now known for his precise and delicate work, Abadi's glassware still retains the unique and organic characteristics that can only be obtained through a hand-blown glass process. Rarely making multiples of a piece unless commissioned by a shop or gallery, he employs various glass-making techniques to achieve pieces that are genuinely one-of-a-kind.

Whether intended to perform a specific task or be appreciated from afar, each object is made with a meaningful purpose. The resulting glassware offers a beautiful simplicity within the space it occupies and the space it contains.

Located in Portland, Oregon, Abadi is constantly pursuing new mediums to continue enriching his deep connection to craft.
