“I’m always interested in the atmospheric condition of light. It’s more about the scupltural presence than a task light. Glass is

This Los Angeles-based designer sheds light on glass.
Los Angeles Times Magazine, Feb. 9
Flaunt Magazine, Nov. 2001 Some like it hot. Alison Berger likes it at 2500 degrees: the temperature at which a glassworker’s furnace burns. As a
New York Times, Home Design M., Fall 2001 teenager in Dallas, Berger came across glassblowers working in a crafts shop, and was instantly mesmerized by the
technique. She studied historical glassblowing techniques at the Rhode Island School of Design, and later architecture
Elle Magazine, Jul. 2000
at Columbia University. Berger apprenticed with glass sculptor Dale Chihuly, and in her 25-year career has worked with
Elle Décor, Sep. 1998 architecture and design firms ranging from Frank O. Gehry and Associates to Roman & Williams, creating both lighting
Elle Decoration, Nov. 1997 designs and barware collections. As glass is a “fluid medium,” according to Berger, each of her works is by its nature unique.
Axis, Sep. 1997 She treasures such accidental variations as bubbles and warps. If there is a common thread to her pieces, it is, she says,
that “they feel like they have a history to them.” –Gregory Cerio
