The Gusto Collection by Alain Gilles for XLBoom is inspired by a visual metaphor of melting ice, where a mouth blown glass cup seems to rest on a slowly dissolving base formed from molten glass. The contrast between the crisp, refined container and the raw, imperfect base creates a subtle tension within the design. Shaped by hand and fused into one solid piece, the base gives each cup a changing silhouette from every angle. This interplay of techniques highlights the beauty of glass and ensures that no two pieces are exactly alike.
