Furthur Design, Glass


Bill (William Couig) was my neighbor at Brooklyn Designs last year and we imediately hit it off. He's a very affable and easy going guy. His glass work is modern and reminiscent of scandanavian design, but that unfairly simplifies the personal twist he imparts in his pieces. There's a wit and whimsy in both the man and his work.
There's an optimism and clarity in his glasswork that makes one smile. Case in point is his "contact lense" basin.
Pictured on the left is Bill's cousin Chris, always a joy to be around, and on the right is glassblower Kanik Chung.
