LSA introduces SS23 collection

www.lsa-international.com

With their SS23 assortment, LSA has set out to make environments calming, considered spaces. Whether that is consciously through the way something is made, or physically through observed design details that lighten and elevate interiors. Let’s take a look at the brand’s new launches:

Balcony

Compact urban spaces grounded in nature inform the BALCONY Collection. Mouth-blown glass planters borrow their structural, offset shapes from city balconies laden in growth and natural, untamed abundance, with a design that mirrors the stepped levels seen in terraced agricultural landscapes. Biophilia sits at the core of BALCONY; a concept centred around our affinity to engage with the natural world. Each two-part planter is self watering, using sub irrigation to deliver water directly to the roots of the plant. A trailing cord carries hydration from the built in reservoir to the soil, enabling us to grow a range of indoor plants and embrace biophilic design by improving the environment of our interior spaces.

Terrazza

A collection of floor and desk planters inspired by – and designed for –cultivating and activating spaces with new green life. Mouth-blown vessels with melted rims sit atop powder coated steel columns, creating an elevated platform for growing plants and referencing the shelf-like formation of high-rise urban terraces and roof gardens.

TERRAZZA is based on the principles of Biophilia; an exploration of our inherent need as humans to interact with nature, and how design can effectively implement and introduce nature into our lives. The height allows elevation for trailing plants to hang, with the concrete and monochrome tones nodding to modern architecture.

Lagoon

Clear vases and lanterns with an organic shape and translucent finish join the cased sea green colourway in LAGOON. The unique, rippling forms are mouth-blown and hand finished by skilled craftsmen, evocative of the natural curves of a lagoon.

The addition of clear forms to the LAGOON Collection lends a refreshed aesthetic, with each piece designed to add a sculptural detail to the surrounding it sits in.

Savoy

SAVOY’s elegant collection of mouth-blown champagne glasses are joined by a new set of wine, liqueur and Nick & Nora glasses. Skilled glassblowers mouth blow the fine bowls, draw the stems to create a distinctive internal V-shape to elongate the bowl, and apply the feet by hand, using the utmost precision and skill.

The deep, V-shape in the hand- drawn stem of SAVOY champagne glasses creates a ‘sparkle point’ to enhance bubbles as they travel up the bowl.

Pavilion

A mouth-blown glass piece in a contemporary monolithic form, inspired by the architecture of pavilions. A gently squared dome sits on a sustainably sourced ash base, with geometric lines complementing the curved facade. Expert craftsmanship is required to mouth blow and hand finish each piece with such precision.

The stripped back form and clean lines of PAVILION provide a modern solution to presentation and storage in the home, whilst serving as a carefully considered standalone object.

Boris

Inspired by modern shapes and clean lines, a new set of mouthblown pieces join this timeless collection, making BORIS a comprehensive range of drinkware with an accompanying bowl for serving olives or nuts.

The timeless profiles and classic forms create an aesthetic value that endures year upon year.
