Sklo Debuts An Entirely New Product Category

The NorCal-based Czech-glass company debuts a new product category: tables. The inaugural designs juxtapose sturdiness and fragility to manifest something quite special. Field clusters flat-top cylinders—in frosted glass or one of three transparent tints—on brushed-brass legs to form side or coffee tables that resemble stately organ pipes. “Small units are grouped to create large compositions—a modular language like the notes in a musical score,” explains Karen Gilbert, who cofounded SkLO with Pavel Hanousek and Paul Pavlak. Gravity alone secures Join’s doorknob-like hand-blown top onto its Carrara marble base, rendering the conical form visible through tinted glass.
