The atelier

Between the perfumer's brief and the glassworks floor.

GlassSculpt Studio is a small group of industrial designers and packaging engineers who develop fragrance primary and secondary packaging end to end.

Designer shaping a clay model of a fragrance bottle beside section sketches

Founded around a single constraint

The studio was formed after too many beautiful bottle concepts arrived at the glassworks and came back reduced — walls too thin at the shoulder, facets that could not release from the mould, caps that did not sit square on a crimped neck.

We work the other way around. Manufacturing limits are collected first, then the form is developed inside them, so what is presented has already survived the factory.

How we work

Start from the juice

Viscosity, colour and evaporation behaviour shape glass tint, closure seal and pump choice before any silhouette is drawn.

Draw to the machine

Every section is checked against the blowing, crimping and folding equipment that will actually produce it.

Model in the hand

Directions are judged on resin and clay models at full weight, never on a screen alone.

One document set

Clients leave with a single coordinated release: sections, tolerances, CMF sheet and dielines.
