We visited Casco Bay Glassworks in Woolwich, ME this week observe them creating some of the custom hand-blown glass shades for the Eliza Jane table lamp. Owners Ben and Molly Coombs worked together in the shop to create the deep red glass shades, each one takes nearly an hour to make.

The Launch Pad is a platform for emerging designers who wish to make connections with manufacturers and retailers during NYCxDESIGN, New York’s celebration of global design. Each year, a group of industry professionals reviews the exhibited work to select a Best of Launch Pad prize. A recognition per category will be awarded to the standout product that meets the highest level of concept, creativity and design. The Launch Pad program is the opportunity to collaborate, share and create a thriving ecosystem where designers, manufacturers and visionaries can connect. As a result, the Launch Pad has contributed to many success stories, creating connections and projects that went beyond the participants’ expectations, confirming the need of this original program.
