Based on an interplay between a crisp, mouthblown cup and a raw, uneven base of molten glass, the 'Gusto' collection by Alain Gilles for XLBoom captures the dual nature of melting ice. Pigmented amber glass within the base functions as a striking focal element that adds dimension and enhances the juxtaposition of the design. The silhouette of the glass shifts when viewed from different angles, giving it a vital, organic quality. Defined by this subtle yet captivating tension, and made entirely by hand, no two pieces are identical. This large 'Gusto Coupe' glass can be mixed and matched with other pigmented and clear designs from the same series for the full aesthetic.
