Producers of hand-blown glass objects, the
Atelier George brings together artistry and
design.
Eve & Laurent George, designers and
glassblowers, work hand in hand from the first
sketch to the final product.
Every object made by the Atelier is unique and
non-reproducible.

the Aube collection the Aube collection
Aube is a collection of light fixtures and interior accessories with
opalescent hues.
Starting from experiments on spherical and circular shapes (called
«roundels» in handblown glass), we have created combinations of
colored glass that evoke galaxies or emit light beams like cosmic
gas clusters or flare stars. Offering moon views, orbs and craters,
these hand-blown objects capture the universe in a glob of glass.
