f f e r r o n e Marks 25 Years With Dazzling New Glassware

"Twenty-five years ago, Felicia Ferrone's foray into glassware began not with a client commission, but a self-initiated experiment inspired by lively dinners with friends. The result was the Revolution Collection - a set of glasses that flipped expectations with their clean lines and dual-function design. Licensed to notable Italian brands in 2001, Ferrone eventually reclaimed the rights eight years later, bringing the collection fully under her studio, ."

"The first two, the Cerna Collection and the Ida Vase, push the boundaries of traditional glassmaking, marrying precision craftsmanship with experimental forms to show just how far glass can go. "I create contemporary glassware by challenging fundamental assumptions about form and function," shares Ferrone. "These new collections continue that vision - collaborating with master craftspeople to discover what becomes possible when traditional techniques meet improvisation at the craftsman's bench.""

"Both collections were developed in collaboration with master Czech artisans in one of the country's historic glassmaking towns, where Ferrone immersed herself in traditional Bohemian methods while experimenting with entirely new approaches. The Cerna Collection, on the other hand, leans into boldness and tension. Translated to "black" in Czech, the series balances smooth, generous bowls on slender, precisely fluted stems in a way that seems to defy gravity."

Felicia Ferrone created the Revolution Collection twenty-five years ago as a self-initiated experiment inspired by social dinners. The Revolution Collection featured clean lines and a dual-function design, was licensed to Italian brands in 2001, and returned to Ferrone’s studio eight years later as its first official collection. The collection sparked widespread interest in her contemporary glassware. In 2026 the studio will mark Revolution's 25th anniversary with new releases, starting with the Cerna Collection and the Ida Vase. Both projects were developed with master Czech artisans and combine Bohemian techniques with experimental forms, with Cerna emphasizing bold bowls and slender fluted stems that seem to defy gravity.
