The history of laboratory glass - craftsmanship, science and design in harmony
Glass has played a central role in the world of science for centuries. But laboratory glass is more than just a functional material - it is the result of decades of development, precision craftsmanship and a deep understanding of chemical processes and physical requirements.
Industrial revolution and standardization
In the 19th century, with the rise of modern chemistry, the demand for precise, heat-resistant and standardized laboratory glass increased rapidly. Companies such as Schott (Germany) and Pyrex (USA) developed special borosilicate glasses - resistant to temperature changes, chemical-resistant and ideal for everyday laboratory use. These innovations formed the basis for what is now considered the global standard.
The round-bottom flask is more than a laboratory tool — it is a symbol of scientific curiosity and timeless craftsmanship. Inspired by the heritage of traditional laboratory glassblowing, we honor the techniques once used in scientific workshops, where every curve was shaped by hand over hours of careful heat and motion.
Our reinterpretation of these classic forms pays homage to their origin while transforming them into refined design objects. Each piece carries the spirit of precision, clarity, and quiet beauty that defined the golden era of glassblown science.
Long before industrial production, laboratory glassware was shaped entirely by hand — guided by fire, breath, and experience. Old sketches, like the one shown here, reveal a time when scientific instruments were as much craft as they were tool. Each curve was carefully calculated, each joint flame-worked with precision, serving both function and elegance.
Our work draws inspiration from this heritage. We honor these origins by combining traditional forms with contemporary design — preserving the quiet beauty and purposeful geometry of early scientific glassmaking.
With the rise of modern chemistry in the 19th century, laboratory glassware underwent a quiet revolution. Glassblowers began crafting increasingly complex forms — flasks, condensers, and connectors — tailored to the needs of research, precision, and repeatable results. Each piece was made by hand, based on careful sketches and exact proportions, turning technical drawings into functional sculpture.
These early designs became the blueprint of modern science. Our work draws from that legacy — reinterpreting the purity and form of historical lab glass with the same respect for craftsmanship and clarity that defined a new scientific era.
Inspired
Our glass objects draw their inspiration from the purity and precision of laboratory glassware. By reinterpreting these scientific forms, we create elegant design pieces that celebrate both function and artistry.
Precision
We specialize in crafting glass objects with exacting precision, custom-made according to your individual specifications. Every detail is carefully realized to ensure perfect form and function, reflecting both technical expertise and artistic sensitivity.
Fragrances
Glass Creations for Perfumers:
Collaborating with perfumers, we craft refined glass objects that complement the essence and story of each fragrance—bringing the sensory experience to life visually.
Craftsmanship meets design - the renaissance of laboratory glassware
Nowadays, laboratory glass is being rediscovered: as a design object, as a symbol of precision and transparency, as a combination of function and aesthetics. We are continuing this tradition in our manufactory - with handmade glass instruments that are finding new meaning not only in the laboratory, but also in everyday life and interior design.
THE PROCESS
In the quiet glow of early laboratories, glass vessels like this were at the heart of discovery. Steam rising from a round-bottom flask marked the invisible moment when materials transformed — when heat met substance and science became visible. These early chemical processes, captured in fragile glass forms, embody both precision and mystery.
