PINOLI GLASS
Founded by Pinar Özoruç as a way to bring together two sides of her world: structure and instinct. From her Istanbul studio, she creates glass pieces that feel soft, intentional, and alive in the light.

LOCATION & BACKGROUND
Pinar is based in Istanbul, where every piece is produced in a traditional glass furnace. Her path into design wasn’t linear. She began in corporate marketing and retail, learning how to build something thoughtfully and sustainably before stepping fully into the world of glass. Over time, working closely with master artisans, she developed her practice from the inside of the furnace; learning by doing, observing, refining.
CREATIVE APPROACH & INSPIRATION
Her work often begins with a feeling; a shift in light, a colour transition, or the atmosphere of a space at a certain hour. Inspired by vintage glass silhouettes, she reinterprets familiar forms with softer proportions and a contemporary sensibility. Each piece is free-blown and shaped by breath and gravity, embracing subtle irregularities that make it feel human and considered.
FAVOURITE THING AT HOME
A painting her family bought years ago: a small boat floating under a full moon. The deep blues and the reflection on the water never fail to settle her. It’s one of those pieces that quietly holds a room together.
MEANING OF HOME
For Pınar, home is less about walls and more about a state of being. It’s where she feels safe enough to slow down and excited enough to dream. A place where nothing needs to be performed; where warmth, laughter, and imagination can exist in the same breath.
