Verrité is a human-centric glassworks house creating small-batch, made-to-order glass lighting and functional objects in collaboration with artists and fabricators. Each piece begins with an artist’s vision and is developed transparently through sketches, material exploration, and hands-on making, so the finished work carries its own story. Its Silva collection, created with New York artist Julia Blume, exemplifies Verrité’s approach to limited-run glass and bronze works made individually for each customer.
