Satin Glass Vessels

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 maintains the unique and organic characteristics only 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 genuinely one-of-a-kind pieces. 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 can be found constantly pursuing new mediums to continue enriching his deep connection to craft.
