Slow Design: Esque Studio
From Julie:
There’s nothing like a trip to kindle new design ideas. I went to Portland, OR, a couple of weeks ago (see Ace Hotel post) and dined at my new favorite restaurant, ClarkLewis (1001 SE Water Avenue; 503-235-2294). Like eating in an ultrachic garage, with fantastic food.
Of course I fell madly in love with the bulbous water carafe blown from recycled glass on the table; the waitress revealed that it was by a glassblowing workshop in town called Esque Studio. Visit their site at www.esque-studio.com to view their work, which ranges from art glass pieces priced in the thousands to more utilitarian (and more moderately priced) pieces. San Francisco site www.branchhome.com also sells a selection of pieces.
Off pitcher and cup (10 inches high); $189 (also available at www.branchhome.com):
Antler light (18 inches high); $525:
Drip light (12 inches across); $945:
Venetian pieces (9 inches high); $189 each:
