Description

Step inside designer and sculptor Thomas Bastide’s studio to discover the techniques, concepts, and inspirations that lie behind his glass creations.

This book retraces forty years in the creative career of Thomas Bastide. The designer and sculptor has collaborated with prestigious French and international companies, including Baccarat, Hennessy, and Christofle, and this volume pays tribute to the unique techniques that he has contributed to the fields of crystal glassmaking, goldsmithery, and porcelain-making.

Featuring the themes that are fundamental to the artist’s work, such as equilibrium, deconstruction, mechanics, and fluidity, this volume invites readers to discover an exceptional savoir faire combining creativity, technical prowess, resilience, and dexterity. The text paints an authentic, vivacious, yet humble portrait of Bastide, and his anecdotes accompany photographs by Jo Pesendorfer of a selection of his works. 

This is a bilingual edition, in English and French.Born in 1954, Thomas Bastide grew up watching Scandinavian master glassmakers at work, and glass—with the multiple creative possibilities it offers—has become a true passion for him. A graduate from the Penninghen School of Graphic Arts and ENSAAMA in Paris, and the Pilchuck School in Seattle, he began his professional career with Raymond Loewy, a star of the design world. Laure Verchère was a long-time journalist for Elle Décoration. She is the author of numerous books, including Signed Sybille de Margerie and Le Grand Hôtel & Café de la Paix, published by Flammarion.CN
