La Soufflerie
Perfectly-imperfect glassware, each piece carefully made by skilled artisans using traditional mouthblown techniques to create one-of-a-kind, unique pieces for your home. No two pieces are the same.
La Soufflerie workshop is located on the outskirts of Paris in Gentilly – it is a treasure trove of hand-blown glassware made from 100% recycled glass with all company profits going back into preserving the art of ancestral glassblowing. Established in 2007, La Soufflerie is a non-profit, family-owned and operated business run by Sebastien and Valentina Nobile who first set up by taking their initial attempts at mouth blown glass to restaurants they knew well in Paris. They discovered that there were only two traditional glassblowing studios left in Paris – the capital of wine loving France!
They couldn’t believe that this appeared to be a dying art, as mass production threatened to swallow up a national heritage. They immediately set about making a company that would lift this cultural technique back on it’s feet.These designs are now mouth-blown by a growing team of expert glassblowing craftspeople and La Soufflerie is now supporting other glass studios and mouth-blown crafts centres around the globe...
