Generally imperfect coloured cylinders from industrial lighting production don’t have any further full-fledged use. Main impulse to design the glass bowls was to change perception of this kind of waste, which is weighed into landfills, have impact to environment and landscape view. Each handmade bowl is formed from cylinders slumped into flat sheets, afterward cut in stripes and fused together, next step is a combination of techniques as hand grinding, sandblasting, water-jet cutting and acid coating on the final surface.
