New Lucie and Helene glassware from LSA

Coming soon, we have two exciting new LSA International glass collections – the Lucie and Helene ranges.  Right on trend for Spring and Summer 2010, both collections are available in two distinctive and very pretty pale pastel shades that will add a touch of subtle colour to your home or dining table. 

The Lucie range of glassware has a slightly vintage look with its dimpled effect and classic styling.  Available in a soft rose/lilac or pale turquoise, the glasses will make a lovely addition to your dining table for both casual and more formal occasions.  Mix with plain white tableware to add some vintage charm to a contemporary setting or use with patterned tableware for an eclectic individual style. 

Delicate wine glasses, tumblers and a gorgeous carafe for water (or wine) are available for each colour – use them either as a complete set for bolder colour impact or alternatively mix the tumblers and perhaps the carafe with plain glasses (LSA Iona wine glasses are a good match) for a more subtle look.  To set the mood you could also add some of the matching Lucie tealight holders or perhaps a LSA  Helene vase. 

Moving to the Helene range, LSA have created some masterful glassware ranges over the years, but this collection of vases and candle holders is definitely one of our favourites.  Each piece has a sweeping, curvaceous shape coupled with soft inviting colours of pale purple or turquoise. 

Two Helene vases are available, each with a distinctive style – the slightly shorter 20cm vase has a hand applied swirl of glass which winds its way up the vase, while the slightly larger 24cm-high vase  features a more regular ‘wide banded’ effect.  These hard to resist pieces make beautiful decorative accessories for the home and look fabulous with or without flowers. There is also a bowl shaped candleholder to complete the collection, which comes gift boxed with a round shaped candle included.  This will give off a romantic soft glow for dining or relaxing, with the candlight emphasising the qualities of the glass.  The glass bowl, can also be used as a vase for simple flower arrangements.   

Yet again LSA  have come out trumps with these eye catching glass collections. They have really captured the mood for summer dining, entertaining and living, making a strong fashion statement with their use of topical colours, vintage style and interesting textures.
