Prototypes for GlassLab

After two days of work sessions together with master craftsmen at The Corning Museum of Glass as a part of the GlassLab project, Tina Oldknow, curator of modern glass, chose to accession three items from the sessions into the Museum’s GlassLab prototype collection. The items consist of three functional vessels that address specific domestic conditions in the bed and bath. The first item accommodates a more sustainable (new orientation for tubeless TP roll) approach to distributing toilet paper, the second is a shallow bowl which manages bedside technology use and the third merges toothbrush holder with a drinking cup to create efficiencies in often cramped spaces.
