DESIGN NAME: Tree Story Condiments Set
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Containers
INSPIRATION: Strolling through the woods as summer fades into fall absorbing the variety of scents, colors, shapes, and watching the leaves gently falling provided inspiration to the design.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Tree Story Set is driven by a desire to connect everyday patterns of living to the simple pleasures of the world around us. Sitting together, our little forest delightfully holds the most commonly used herbs and spices. The six different glass containers are drawn from the sheer diversity of tree canopy shapes throughout different regions of the world.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The glass top is held and connected to the wood base by a cork and brass rod. The glass top can be removed from the wood base to allow condiments to gently fall on your tray from the 20mm diameter opening and then put back on once used.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: Designed in 2018 in New York City and in production 2023 in New York City

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The glass tops are hand-blown by glass blowers in New York City. The wood bases are hand-turned with lathe and assembled by artisans in New York City.
High quality molds are created and used for hand-blown glass tops for consistent and flawless shapes. The glass then goes through rigorous quality control process to remove defects with small bubbles and streaks.
The wood bases are hand-turned and assembled with cork and 100% brass rod to hold up the glass top. Metal brass not only connects the cork to the wood but the weight of it aids in stability so as to not topple over.
