Sophie Lou Jacobsen is a French-American housewares, furniture, and industrial designer.[1][2][3][4] Jacobsen is known for her colorful glass and bendy vases[5] carafes, stemware, and lamps.[6] Her style is influenced by fazzoletto (“handkerchief”) in which the finished glass product almost looks like draped fabric, a technique created in second-century Rome and reawakened in the 1940s by Italian glass masters Fulvio Bianconi and Paolo Veniniin.[7]
Work
editJacobsen has designed numerous signature houseware objects, both functional and decorative, including handblown glass cleaning bottles (Ladies and Gentlemen Studio) and totem glasses,[8][9] sand-cast aluminum spiral coasters[10][11] and eclectic martini glasses with colored, wobbly stems or stems and bouquets.[12] She collaborates often with the glassblower, Adam Holtzinger.[13]
The designer opened her studio in 2019. Jacobsen collaborated with de Gournay for Tulipa, a suite of pendant lights, candle sconces, mirrors, plus vases inspired by chinoiserie wallpapers and it was exhibited at the London Design Festival.
