Hagenglas by Ami Kealoha
Hagenglas is the studio of Danish glass artist Rikke Hagen. The studio is situated just outside Copenhagen in Hilleroed, near the beautiful Frederiksborg Castle.
Rikke's glass is often dusted with various colored glass dust, lending a unique texture and feel to many of her products. (Click above images for detail.) In addition to crafting flower vases, small boxes, drinking glasses, etc., she also works on art installations and pieces, some which can be seen at the current exhibition, " Glass," at the Danish Museum of Art and Design.
Rikke also runs the design office Copen Hagen where she has done product design for Normann Copenhagen, Holmegaard and others.

Menu Wine Decanter
Further to Leti's post, whether it's from box or bottle (as I prefer) red wine invariably tastes better if it's decanted, thanks to the oxygenation that occurs. One of the most attractive decanters I've come across is this one in glass and steel, designed for Danish company Menu by Louise Christ Frederiksen. Besides looking good, the broad base significantly improves aeration. Menu also has...

Blown Ups Lightbulbs
Melding the frivolity of balloon animals with the function of illuminating your personal space, these Blown Ups are quite the eccentric offering from Thelermont Hupton of London. Each piece is crafted with silver finished steel and are made from blown glass that combines the traditional handicraft of a glassworker with the every-day-magic of electric light that we often take for granted. They can be ordered...

Bouroullec Cloud for Kvadrat
The kings of the modern modular wall hanging, the Bouroullec Brothers, recently released their latest beautiful creation for Danish textile company Kvadrat. Entitled Cloud, a new hanging system allows endless variations of nebulous forms to be used in any way your imagination sees fit. Cloud comes in two fabrics and seven colour ways. Through the simple device of a customised elastic band, tiles can...

Alison Berger x Blackman Cruz
Los Angeles-based glass artist Alison Berger creates glass forms that transform mere lights, vessels and objects into timeless poetic expressions. Her recent collection of bottle-shaped vessels for the L.A. design mecca, Blackman Cruz, is an exercise in balance. Combining the lightness of blown-crystal with the weightiness of hand-formed solid crystal, the objects allude to the momentous developments in alchemy and still life painting centuries ago....

Glass Beverage Bottles
This version of a glass bottle in the shape of a plastic one continues the trend of doing up disposables in nicer materials and is, indeed, a Crate and Barrel knock-off of a similar concept by Roost (also makers of home furnishings but without the corporate baggage). It does however offer two design differences that caught our attention. The option of a smaller size...

Seven Deadly Glasses
The Talent Zone at Tent during the London Design Festival was a rich source of creativity. After being wowed by Debbie Smyth's Pins and Thread installation, the nearby dramatically-titled Deadly Glasses caught our attention. The elaborate opulence of designer Kacper Hamilton's work directly contrasts the minimalism of Smyth's. His seven hand-blown red wine glasses were exhibited in and around a beautiful wooden box with...
