Celebrated glass artist John Hogan’s Swamp transforms cast slabs of glass into a chair of striking scale, precision, and material presence. Working at the scale of furniture presents an exceptional technical feat: thick, luminous planes must retain the clarity and expressive color of glass while achieving the strength required for everyday use. Appearing at once delicate and durable, Swamp embodies the central tension of Use Me, I’m Fragile—an object that carries the psychological weight of fragility while explicitly inviting touch, intimacy, and use.
