ORNAMENTAL BY LAMEICE
Some glassware sits politely on a shelf, waiting to be admired. Ornamental by Lameice does not. It pirouettes across tabletops, flirts with the sunlight, and occasionally winks at the neighbor’s teacup. Entirely Hand and Mouth-blown by artisans who have mastered the dance of fire and glass, each piece is an unscripted performance fluid, poetic, and entirely unique. Designed by Lameice, with a penchant for the peculiar, Ornamental believes objects should have personality, humor, and just a hint of rebellion. After all, a glass is never just a glass. It’s a conversation, a story, a fleeting moment of magic held, sipped, and passed along.

" The Poetry of Chemistry: Lameice Abu Aker's "Chemistry Vase" features spherical volumes reminiscent of molecular chains. Because each glass bubble is created freely by hand without molds, the material can expand and merge inward like a living substance, finding its own organic geometry."

Lameice’s delicate glass creations are all mouth-blown by Palestinian artisans in the West Bank village of Jaba’. The perfect vessel for cut astrantia stems from the garden.
" The tall, color-blocked carafe was designed by Palestinian artist Lameice Abu Aker and made by a family of glassblowers in a small village near Jerusalem. It plays with scale, combining large bubbles for the body and a string of small bubbles for the handle. "
