Debuting at this month’s Maison & Objet in Paris, BUMP is a series of glass vessels that are designed by Tom Dixon to serve your daily drinking and/or hosting needs. Each double walled, minimalist piece is handmade in muted pink and tones of grey, some transparent and some translucent, resembling the conical, spherical, and tubular building blocks we all loved as kids.
The delicate, eye-catching shapes invite users into the “alchemical processes” of tea making, mixology, and floral arranging, in a new and elegant way. The collection includes three vases, a teapot, a jug, tea cups, and glasses.
