NOVEL is a glass collection by Fusion f., created in Montreal. It merges traditional Venetian techniques with industrial mold-blowing, using metal scraps to craft unique forms. The project questions value, transformation, and the dialogue between craft and industry.

Installation

For Forward Furniture, we present an installation composed of unique, hand-blown black glass pieces. Each object rests directly on the floor, reflecting a radical simplicity and a focus on material, gesture, and form.

Process

NOVEL merges traditional Venetian glassmaking with industrial mold-blowing. Each mold is made from reclaimed metal scraps, reshaped and welded, turning discarded matter into a source of creation and dialogue between craft and industry.

Reflection

Every piece embodies the encounter between industrial constraint and human touch. NOVEL questions the perception of value and permanence, revealing how transformation and imperfection can generate singular beauty.
