The Horizon barware showcases intersections of clean lines and purposeful design. Each piece features an off-set horizon that is made by dipping the form in an extra gather of molten glass and then shaped. Once cooled, the pieces are hand-cut on a lathe to feature the gestural, optical pattern seen. A 23k gold solid stopper adorns the decanters.

As an artist and designer from Detroit, Koupal takes inspiration from the exceptional as well as the everyday in the world around him. Sleek details in automotive design, post-war modernism, daily interactions, and architectural silhouettes are all parts of the cultural landscapes that Andy translates through the essence of glass.
Every piece Koupal creates starts with a sketch and then moves to a gather of molten glass out of the furnace that is shaped and handmade with traditional glassblowing techniques. Andy also employs a wide range of approaches such as cold-working, mark making, surface treatments, and mixing his own recipes of glass color.
