This Crumpled Glass Was Designed By Makoto Komatsu, Whose Works Have Been Collected By Museums Like Moma And V&Amp;A. Komatsu Describes The “Crinkle/Crumple” Series As The Most Important Work Of His Career. The Line Was Inspired By Accidental Paper Imprints He Would Notice On Plaster Molds Used For Mass Producing Ceramics.
