The Art of Craftsmanship: How Our Lawton Handblown Glass Tables Are Made
At Home on Center, we celebrate the artistry and craftsmanship behind every piece we create. The Lawton Handblown Glass Tables are a testament to this dedication, blending timeless design with meticulous handcrafting techniques. Each table is a unique work of art, created through a process steeped in tradition and innovation. Here’s a closer look at how these stunning tables come to life.
1. The Inspiration Behind the Design
The Lawton Glass Tables are inspired by the interplay of light, transparency, and form. The design reflects the fluidity of glass and the organic beauty of its imperfections. We wanted to create a table that feels both sculptural and functional, making it a centerpiece in any space.
2. The Handblowing Process
The journey of a Lawton Glass Table begins with molten glass, heated to over 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Skilled artisans use a traditional handblowing technique to shape the entire table as a single, seamless piece. This process requires precision, expertise, and a deep understanding of the material.
Steps in the Process:
- Gathering the Glass: A metal blowpipe is dipped into the molten glass, gathering just the right amount to form the table.
- Shaping the Form: The artisan blows air through the pipe while rotating it, carefully shaping the glass into the base and tabletop in one continuous motion.
- Cooling and Refining: The piece is slowly cooled in a controlled environment to prevent cracking. Once cooled, it is polished to enhance its clarity and brilliance.
Each table is unique, with slight variations that highlight the handcrafted nature of the piece.
3. Why Handblown Glass Matters
The Lawton Glass Table is made entirely of handblown glass, setting it apart from mass-produced furniture. This approach ensures that no two pieces are alike. The subtle imperfections and variations in each table tell a story, making it a true work of art. By choosing handblown glass, you’re investing in a piece that combines functionality with artistic expression.
4. Attention to Detail
From the curvature of the glass to the flawless surface finish, every detail of the Lawton Glass Table is meticulously refined. The entire table is designed to be visually light yet structurally sturdy, embodying a perfect balance of form and function.
