Seaforms

The Seaform series evolved from the Basket series during the early 1980s. Chihuly and his team used iron molds in the glassmaking process to imprint a ribbed effect on the glass, which creates texture and strengthens the form. Thin lines of color, known as “body wraps,” emphasize the Seaform’s undulating shapes. Delicate and thin-walled, Seaforms conjure underwater life but do not imitate it.
