Co-founder of Qualia-Glassworks, Akiko Hayashi is an artisanal glass maker that relishes every step of the process, with a hands on approach from design to manipulating the glass through to the finish. Her work can be laborious.
Despite working with a very hot fire in her atelier, she works silently and persistently at peace with her surroundings. In her words she creates "something just good and right" a plate that you want to keep by your side. Functional and beautiful, each piece has a fine, clean outline that elevates any meal. We are privileged to be selling a small number of Akiko glassworks for the table.
