Watch Eight Master Craftsmen Shape a Bouroullec Design
All (sixteen) hands on deck
These Alcova objects were designed by the Bouroullec brothers, pre-pandemic.
They're still in production, and what a production process it is. I tend to think of glassmaking as a fairly solitary profession, at least the part where the craftspeople are actually working the glass. But in this video released this week by Ronan Bouroullec, we can see that it takes no less than eight master craftsmen, all working in concert, to get the piece into shape before the glass cools:
The Alcova is in production by London-based WonderGlass. (That's their factory in the video, located outside of Venice.)
