Sinope by Anna Torfs.

Moons and mythology

The inspiration for Anna Torfs' Sinope have a poetic feeling.

Maybe Anna Torfs thought of Jupiter's moons, perhaps the Greek mythology. Her Sinope shows the exact same precision that characterize all of this interesting glass designers' work. Precise cuts meet soft, round forms. Sinope gets its character from the double layers. A dark circle encloses a lighter moon shape.
