VITRELUXE
Portland Oregon
“Glassblowing is a meditation. Selecting the palette, refining the shape or keeping your balance. You move in time and temperature with a tempo that is constantly changing.“
Designer-artist Lynn Read employs an inventive range of techniques to capture the ethereal transparency, optical intrigue, malleability and material versatility of blown glasswork. From his Portland, Oregon-based studio, Vitreluxe, a combination of vitreous—the brilliant luster of glass—and deluxe—the mid-century benchmark of quality, he and his team produce masterful works of functional art and design. Since the studio’s first spark ignited nearly 25 years ago, Vitreluxe has grown into a maker's mark of superior quality, signifying glassware of resolute quality and spartan design sensibility.
