Details

Coinciding with our exhibition 'Shapes for Holding', we are excited to introduce the Sosa Bowl—a collaborative design between Storied Objects and Lynn Everett Read of Vitreluxe. Offered in clear glass, these press-moulded bowls feature the same design and essence as one of our favorite ceramic vessels, the Ochoko by Samuel Johnson. Its namesake is a nod to Storied Object's ("So") and Samuel Johnson's ("Sa") professional relationship, and Lynn Everett Read's testament to pushing the boundaries of his glassblowing practice. Individually pressed into a glass mould and pinched with steel tweezers to achieve its organic shape, we love how each piece is unique and can be enjoyed for multiple uses. 

Artist Notes

Vitreluxe

Nestled neatly off the main street of Portland's historic Sellwood neighborhood sits Lynn Read's quaint and unassuming glassblowing studio, Vitreluxe.

Named after Read's affinity for expressive and lustrous forms, Vitreluxe embodies glasswares that command attention in any context. With over two decades of glass blowing experience, Read designs with a refreshing lack of preciousness that allows new forms and ideas to occur within the material. The resulting pieces feature organic textures and shapes that celebrate the unpredictability and unique nature of glass.

Outside of his commitment to offering vibrant and spirited works, Read's deep respect for the natural world not only influences his designs but also helps guide his ethical values. Running on 100% renewable energy, Vitreluxe remains one of the few glass studios to implement a fully sustainable system for melting glass.
