As per website

Working with glass is perpetual source of surprise and joy.  A simple idea or sketch will suddenly transform into a shell  a precious store, opal or marble.  Perhaps  it  was because of this gift  of  metamorphosis  that  the  ancients  attributed  supernatural  powers  to  glass and  for  this  same reason  that it has become perfume's privileged partner.

Redesigning   something  that  has  been  around   forever  demands that you conceptualize the familiar in completely   new ways.
