OBhetos a Collection of Usables glass vessels

 

Year designed:  1999

 

Following the launch of Cafetera de filtro in 1998 OBhetos vessels collection was created and launched in 1999 to wide acclaim.

 

OBhetos is a collection of diagrammatic and minimal shaped vessels for any hot or cold liquid.  Bowles and Linares looked at widening usual perceptions of the shape, material, size and use of vessels and wanted the designs to be produced in the thinnest glass possible with the additional property of resistance to heat.   These qualities could only be found in borosilicate glass and they aimed to transfer the blowing and making techniques for laboratory glassware truthfully to these objects. Not only are they heat resistant but also surprisingly light and stronger than expected for such thin glass.  Bowles also applied the ambering finish used on laboratory vessels to protect chemicals from UV light.  It is an additional process of liquid silver applied to the glass that oxidises and caramelises during firing and gives UV protection for some liquids and beverages when the vessels are in sunlight as well as being very beautiful.  The liquid and contents takes over visually when filled – democracy in glass!

 

Cafetera de filtro coffee jug and filters.  The first of the Obhetos designs in 1998 and nominated for a Homes and Gardens Design award in 2000. The glass filter and jug was a unique way to make coffee at the time. Jugs and flasks are sold separately and can be used for hot or cold beverages.

 

Tea vessels for infusions

 

Utility.  Various vessels for domestic use, small vases

 

Stretch vases and flasks for flowers.  Bulb, Conical, Flask, Cylinder are stretched from laboratorial vessels. Three Way Vase speaks for itself.

 

Vessels.  Jugs with hollow handles for hot or cold liquids.  GL Vess 2 was designed for and featured in Renault Clio advert “Size matters” – watch on YouTube.

 

Obhetos vessels have always and always will be hand-blown in England.

***Save Eric Lyons house in Ham from demolition*** ***Save Eric Lyons house in Ham from demolition*** Object by 29th April link in bio- My grandfather William Bowles commissioned Eric Lyons to design 25 Ham Farm Road in 1958.  The brief was to meet the needs of the family as a whole caring for my disabled grandmother with Parkinson’s disease caused by the shock of landmines landing and taking out a street of 49 houses by their shop in Richmond.  Lyons designed a house that allowed the family to care for her on one level, in the later stages of her illness with dignity, in earshot and a beautiful, uplifting space.  The house has a steel frame construction and is largely glass and wood windows with cedar cladding and white marble terrazzo floors throughout on split levels. The roof is copper clad.  My grandfather was a greengrocer and loved horticulture and he was still able to enjoy his plant/conservatory room and garden. Liberated from caring in Victorian houses my family could keep an eye on my grandmother and each other and care in inspiring building.  The house is modest in design from the front and exciting in form from the rear.  It brought sunshine into my family’s life and left it’s mark on them.  This was pivotal moment in post war design and architecture.  Eric Lyons designed a modest house for a rising working class family in humble materials, much like he did for Parkleys flats.  It’s biggest luxury was the space. Ham is an enclave of an extraordinary group of mid century architecture including Stirling and Gowan’s Langham House Close where I was born and returned 30 years later.  It will be all the poorer if Eric Lyons rare privately commissioned house 25 Ham Farm Road is lost from this group.

Crafted to last and finished to sit in the landsca Crafted to last and finished to sit in the landscape of a conservation setting. Final patination underway of this commission of a light for a London garden.  Many hours of discussions over design of details and finish to enable ongoing maintenance of this external weathered fixture. 

Many thanks to @cleo.dickson of Pasfield and Park Interiors for bringing us on to this project and trusting us with such an open brief to design and craft a very special garden light for her client.
