Soneva Fushi
In the Maldives’ first hot glass studio at Soneva Fushi, we create beauty from what others consider waste. From bespoke glassware for our villas and restaurants to striking works of art, all of the exquisite pieces are recycled from used glass bottles from Soneva Fushi and our other nearby resorts.
Selected works from acclaimed artists, including Lino Tagliapietra, Tobias Mohl and Martin Janecky, among others, are also available to purchase at the So Glassycle studio.
From November 15 to December 6, 2024, Soneva Art & Glass proudly welcomes artist Benjamin Cobb.
Cobb’s art is a profound exploration of the intersection between nature and human biology through captivating abstract glass forms. With over 25 years of experience in glassblowing, he has honed his expertise while collaborating with esteemed artists globally. Originally from the East Coast and a graduate of the Rochester Institute of Technology, Cobb has demonstrated his craft at prominent studios across Sweden, the Czech Republic, Italy and France. Since 2002, he has served as Lead Glassblower and Director of the Hotshop at the renowned Museum of Glass in Tacoma, Washington.
