Helle Mardahl Studio operates at the intersection of art and functionality to create a dreamy universe of richly coloured glass designs of eccentric deviance. A graduate of London’s Central Saint Martins, Helle Mardahl is an artist and designer whose work is marked by a sense of lavishness and extravagance combined with a sense of flamboyance. As a designer, Helle Mardahl is concerned with the beauty of contrasts. Her richly coloured glass designs are alive and natural, fragile yet robust, simple yet ornate.

Helle Mardahl Studio takes inspiration from the bright, blocky worlds of Candy Crush and Tetris—where symmetry, colour and repetition create something unexpectedly hypnotic. The result is an installation of mouth–blown glass lights that play with geometry, stacking and the pure joy of pattern. Each piece is a move in the game. Bold shapes lock together, colours pop, and a world of odd dimensions, reflections and light unfolds. Come and play.
