      About The Artwork

      Studio Voltaire has invited many major artists to revisit and reimagine some of their previous House of Voltaire releases for our “Greatest Hits”, all in support of The Studio Voltaire Future Fund. Long time friends Jochen Holz and Martino Gamper have revisited their previous glassware collaboration for House of Voltaire with these elegant carafes. Designed by Gamper and created by Holz, each is uniquely formed in clear borosilicate with a single strip of coloured glass wending its way from base to lip.

      About Jochen Holz & Martino Gamper

      Jochen Holz is a London-based glass artist. Having initially trained in lampwork - a field of glasswork devoted to making scientific instruments - Holz’s choice to practise as an artist is radically creative. Pushing the boundaries of medium and material, Holz’s award-winning works are unique in their visual language and employment of craft techniques. 

      He has taught and exhibited widely, showing with institutions such as Wellcome Collection, London; Make Hauser & Wirth, Somerset; Kate MacGarry, London, and A Plus A Gallery, Venice.

       

      Martino Gamper is an Italian furniture designer living and working in London across art and design. Gamper is renowned for his project 100 Chairs in 100 Days, where he made a new chair a day for a hundred days by collaging together bits of chairs that he found discarded on the street or in friends’ homes. Blending found stylistic and structural elements, he generated perverse, poetic, and humorous hybrids.

      Gamper's wider practice engages in a variety of projects from exhibition design, interior design and one-off pieces to the design of thoughtfully mass-produced products for the cutting edge of the international furniture industry.

      Gamper was awarded an OBE in 2023 for services to Design.
