"Orbit" Hand Blown Glass Cup
4.5" x 4.5" x 2.75"
Orbit is a drinking glass in motion. With a round base, each glass spins and wobbles as the drinker activates it with their touch. The ring around the glass adds stability, keeping all orbits under control. It is perfect for drinking a glass of whiskey or red wine.
Michael Stern X Evenline
My work forms records in glass of the passage of time, movement, and applied forces. I seek to make this inherent dynamism visible, capturing the continuous interplay between material and experience. Experimentation is central to my practice-an ongoing conversation with glass, technology, and process. Each creation is not merely an object but a moment within this exploration.
Fatherhood is an experience of time travel. I am both forward and backward at once-watching my child move through the world while remembering how I must have once moved through it too. I am reaching into my past, excavating gestures I didn't know I had stored: the way I was held, the way time stretched and collapsed in the small rooms of childhood. I do not just witness my child growing; I feel time bending around us, layering, repeating. I am inside it. Glass holds this same logic. It is always carrying its past-every heat, every shift, every stretch stays within its form. It is a record, a body full of movement, an experiment in a series.
This has changed the way I think about making. I am less concerned with the finality of an object and more drawn to how process lingers, how material carries history. I wonder if fatherhood is less about teaching and more about transmitting-something deep and molecular, a force moving forward without needing to be named. When I pick up my child, am I repeating an action I was held in once? Is my body, like glass, recording it?
Evenline Studio
Evenline brings together science, art, engineering, and design. It keeps us excited and pushes each avenue to go further, take risks, and experiment in new ways. Sometimes, an art project emerges from our research, and other times, a design concept might form the foundation for a science paper.
Every Evenline object is thoughtfully designed to enhance any space it lives in. We focus on making timeless objects in new ways. We strive to bring about joy through playful forms and flexibility in how you can arrange our objects.
