MEET VALENTINA & SÉBASTIEN NOBILE
A FAMILY DEVOTION TO GLASS
"It began with four vases and two bicycles."
In Paris, Valentina and Sébastien Nobile founded La Soufflerie with a single intention—to breathe new life into the fading art of mouth-blown glass. What started with four simple vases delivered by bicycle through the city has grown into a studio celebrated for its timeless, functional works of art. Every piece is hand-blown from 100% recycled glass, shaped through fire and breath, carrying the warmth and imperfection of human touch.
REVIVING A DYING CRAFT
"We work to keep the flame alive."
When Sébastien discovered that only a handful of artisans in Paris still practiced traditional glassblowing, he and Valentina set out to preserve the craft for future generations. Their studio has become a living bridge between past and present—where molten glass becomes memory, and each vessel reflects both sustainability and legacy. Through their dedication, they have transformed preservation into creation, ensuring this ancient art continues to shine.
CRAFTED WITH HEART AND HISTORY
"Our pieces are born of family, fire, and story."
At La Soufflerie, every design begins with personal inspiration—many named after family and friends, a gesture that keeps love at the heart of their work. From delicate carafes to sculptural faces and vessels, their glassware carries the intimacy of home and the authenticity of handmade craft. This is glass as it was meant to be: imperfect, enduring, and alive with the spirit of Parisian artistry.
