Paris-based glassblower
Jeremy Wintrebert is working with German manufacturer
Lamberts to turn stained glass usually meant for cathedrals and churches into new decorative accessories.
The glass company has been making stained-glass windows for two centuries, respecting the ancient technique. Glass blowers were not able to make flat shapes, meaning they blew a tube instead, before cutting its end and flattening it while the material was still hot. The young designer decided to stop the process at its beginning to create oversized vases.

The vases come in over 120 shades - as many as there are to make stained glass windows.
