The Glass You Weren’t Allowed to Touch: Nostalgia, Memory, and the Teta Collection

9 mars 2025

The Teta Collection is a quiet rebellion against the glass cabinets of the past. Inspired by my grandmother’s vitrine, where delicate treasures waited patiently for special occasions, these pieces are designed to be held, used, and loved now, not later. The pearly handles tip their hat to old-world, while the soft curves whisper of heirlooms remembered. Because the best things in life tea, laughter, the weight of a glass in your hand aren’t meant to gather dust. They’re meant to be lived. So pour the tea. Assemble the guests. Open the vitrine. → Explore the Teta Collection

Today, uniformity has stripped objects of their soul and authenticity, leaving behind a sea of sterile, factory-made replicas. But the resurgence of hand-blown glassware and slow design signals a shift—one where consumers seek not just objects, but pieces with meaning, heritage, and artistry.
