Bespoke Colombian glassware, designed by Elisa

Colombian atelier glass

The glass of Bogotá is not the glass of Murano — and does not wish to be. It is Colombian glass, blown in the atelier in small series, never industrialised. The raw material comes from the Andean glassworks. The heat forms the piece, the master glassblower gives it silhouette, the chance of the breath decides the final irregularity. No piece is the replica of another.

Elisa draws, the master glassblowers blow

Elisa does not touch the glass. Elisa draws. She studies the forms, tests the proportions, chooses the palette of tropical flowers that will enter the wall of the glass. The gesture of blowing belongs to the Colombian master glassblowers she works with — it is their tradition, their centuries-old technique. The piece you receive is born from the meeting of two hands: the hand that designed, the hand that blew.

The tropical flower in the wall

Yarumo's botanical signature is the Colombian tropical flowers sealed within the glass — orchid, poppy, dahlia, iris, rose, bougainvillea. The flower is not painted on the surface: it is set into the wall of the glass during the blowing, while the glass is still incandescent. It resists forever — it does not detach, it does not fade, it does not scratch.

Five forms, five uses

The Yarumo catalogue is pared down to five forms, each with a precise use: Cup — set of 4, 7×6 cm, for coffee and infusions. Shot — set of 6, 8×4 cm, for spirits and tastings. Goblet — set of 6, 20×7 cm, for wine and cocktails. Jug — single piece, 23×9 cm, for water and juices. Spoon — set of 6, 13×2 cm, for desserts and honey.

How to commission a set
