Each piece or "guide" numerically cuted were thought to adopt and form the hot glass. The glass distortions are naturally harmonious and balanced. These "guides" function is to direct the material in the creative process. The same type of guides used for the manufacturing will become in some cases an integral part of the final piece. In other cases the glass objects will only keep the shape given by the guide.
