<p>Usually,
visitors to the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum get to view only
finished products. But starting Saturday 17, they can see objects both
functional and sculptural come to life as part of GlassLAB, a mobile
glassblowing studio stationed at the UES institution until June 3. Each
day, designers from different disciplines will approach the malleable
medium and sketch plans for a team from the Corning Museum of Glass to
carry out. (Francisco Costa of Calvin Klein, architect Paul Haigh and
Kidrobot’s Chad Phillips are all scheduled to participate.) </p>
</div>
<div class="MD_bodySuffixFirst01">
<p>The 18-day event is
situated in the Cooper-Hewitt’s lush garden, but Corning Museum
spokesperson Rob Cassetti says working with hot glass is no picnic.
“It’s very tiring. The material is constantly moving and you have to
make all these decisions on the fly.”</p>
<p>While innovative
creations—like industrial designer Matali Crasset’s elegant balloon
forms from the GlassLAB studio at last year’s Design Miami—are sure to
impress, it’s process, not product, that’s the main attraction. “I
consider it more performance art than an actual design project,” says
Laurene Boym, whose dramatic presentation in Miami with husband
Constantin involved smashing glass and attaching the resultant shards
to separate vessels. “You’re trying to work through this process
onstage and all these people are watching. It’s almost like you’re
naked up there.” </p>

A Collaboration of <br>
The Corning Museum of Glass + <br>
Vitra Design Museum </p>
<p>GLASSLAB brings the ancient processes and skills of glassmaking
together with creative and innovative minds in the design
world. Contemporary designers, working with Corning Museum of Glass
glassmakers in a unique mobile hot glass studio, will have a rare
opportunity to use the immediacy of hot glassmaking as a catalyst for
innovation, rapidly prototyping their design concepts using glass.</p>
