This summer, ARTĔL will reveal the results of such restless innovation with the launch of new Absolute versions of its popular MOD and POLKA DOTS motifs. Unlike the standard versions of these motifs, which involve the application of a single color to clear crystal that is later sandblasted off to create a textured pattern, the new Absolute versions have two applications of color. When the first layer is sandblasted off, the second layer remains visible, creating a subtle toneon-tone effect reminiscent of patterned velvet. The final product is unlike any other glassware on the market today. MOD and POLKA DOTS are currently the only two motifs in ARTĔL.
