Collection: Sophie Lou Jacobsen: Poetic Glassware, Cups and Everyday Objects

Sophie Lou Jacobsen is a French-American designer who focuses on enhancing the enjoyment of everyday objects. Using design as a tool for analyzing modern rituals, she aims to alter perspectives and ultimately mood through her work. She's especially well-known for her Spiral Coasters and Ripple Cup glasses.

Sophie Lou Jacobsen: Poetic Glassware, Cups & Everyday Objects


Sophie Lou Jacobsen is a French-American designer based in New York City whose work focuses on transforming the ordinary into the emotional. Founded in 2019, her studio crafts glassware, tableware, and decorative objects that explore the intersection of ritual, form, and light. Using glass as her primary medium, she works closely with master glassblowers to create pieces that feel both playful and considered—objects designed to alter mood, surprise the senses, and elevate everyday moments.


What You’ll Find in Her Collection

Spiral Coasters & Ripple Cups:

Elegant pieces with visual rhythm - coasters that spiral and glasses whose shapes seem to dance with distorted form.

Piano Cocktail Glasses & Wave Pitchers:

Statement serving pieces that bring performative design to drinks.

Large Cups & Bloom Teapot:

Functional, sculptural forms for moments of calm - whether it’s tea, coffee, or simply display.


Her Design Philosophy

Sophie’s work begins with everyday objects - cups, glasses, coasters - and reimagines them through form and interaction. She believes that objects have an innate power to shift our mood through subtle design choices. Her designs reference historical craft (Venetian, Murano techniques like fazzoletto), post-modern influences, and the craft of glassblowing in New York—yet always feel fresh, surprising, and emotionally resonant.


How to Use These Pieces

Let Ripple Cups catch light on open shelving, place Spiral Coasters under favorite mugs to protect surfaces with elegance, or display the Piano Glasses as part of your evening ritual. These items aren’t just for use - they’re for viewing, styling, gifting. Mix color tones, let objects echo each other (like cup rim with teapot lid), and allow shapes to become visual punctuation in your space.


Why Sophie Lou Jacobsen Works Perfectly With Slowdown Studio

Because both prioritize functional art. Slowdown’s throws and blankets draw you in visually and physically; Sophie’s glass and tabletop objects draw you in through light, curve, and craft. Together, they turn everyday rituals—morning coffee, setting a table, sipping water—into moments of delight.


FAQs

What medium does Sophie use for her glassware?
Mostly hand-blown glass, sometimes borosilicate, working closely with master glassblowers in New York to realize pieces that balance durability with delicate detail.

Why do some pieces have irregular shapes or color variations?
Because many are handcrafted, slight variations in form, color saturation, or texture are expected. These are not flaws but part of what makes Sophie’s pieces sing.

How do I care for these glass items?
Hand-washing with gentle detergent is best to preserve finish. Avoid harsh abrasives. For intricate pieces, dry carefully to avoid water spots. Handle carefully - glass may look fragile, but good craftsmanship gives real use-life.

Are these items good for gifting?
Absolutely. Their sculptural presence and refined craftsmanship make them ideal gifts. Elegant packaging, elevated shapes, and often colors that feel joyful - perfect for design lovers and anyone who appreciates objects beyond utility.
