Our Mura low table collaboration with Stacklab has been nominated for a Best of Year award by Interior Design Magazine.
There has been a lasting and symbiotic relationship between the Craft & Design Studio at Toronto’s famous Harbourfront Centre and Oakville’s Sheridan College’s School of Craft and Design. (SOCAD)
Sylvia Lee, Executive Director at Jeff Goodman Studio, is a graduate from the SOCAD Furniture program and will be presenting a custom selection of glass sculptures in the featured presentation vitrines at Harboufront Centre.
Titled ISOLATION, Sylvia plays with Temple Glass as a material representation of individuality, family, and state of mind.
Similar in form and pattern, the Temple Glass houses are grouped to create one unit – the family. Yet each house is unique and alone, sitting precariously on top of thin stilts to illustrate the contrasting nature inherent in material, individual, and family life – all together in a group, but also in distinct isolation.
Jeff Goodman Studio is proud to announce that our work creating the Temple Glass product for the Bahá’í Temple of South America was recognized by the New Glass Review, the flagship publication of The Corning Museum of Glass, the worlds premiere museum for glass art and design. (the MoMA of glass, if you will;)
The New Glass Review produces an annual exhibition-in-print featuring the 100 of the most timely, innovative objects in glass produced during the year.
We are so pleased that Jeff Goodman Studio was chosen as the number one “Artists and Objects” for the 2017 publication. We are honoured to be amongst the talented artists, designers, and architects selected for this prestigious publication. This 12-year project was defining for our studio and we are grateful for the recognition by the most respected platform in our industry.
This new book is about the continental Bahá`í Temple of South America that was inaugurated in fall 2016. The Bahá`í House of Worship, designed by Siamak Hariri and his team at Hariri Pontarini Architects in Toronto, Canada, creates a light-filled space where aesthetics and technology are in perfect synthesis. With numerous drawings, models, renderings, and photographs, the book shows the design and construction process, and the beauty, of this unique building.

Dinuovo (video)
Designed by UUfie in collaboration with Jeff Goodman Studio
Found in the book “The History of the New World” by Girolamo Benzoni, an Italian historian and traveler. It tells the story of Christopher Columbus standing an egg but not particularly difficult especially once breaking it.
This story inspired us. What if you were to stand an egg on its tip, with no influence of other components, except perfection of orientation. DINUOVO is a collection of hand-blown glass using center of gravity to create an object balancing like an upside down egg. Contradicting in nature, it conveys harmony between imperfection and perfection.
DINUOVO is used as a light fixture or vase. A yolk represented by an orb of light floating within transparent glass is achieved through layering of glass in gradating thickness. At the large version, they are nearly half meter high and 15kg in weight. Besides emphasizing the difficulty and skill required, it has the romantic appeal of glass though impractical and incomplete yet provides new possibilities and curiosity. DINUOVO takes a playful, unconventional direction and challenges the Columbus’ egg.

Glass is a malleable, ever-changing material that can be worked employing a variety of techniques to produce a vast spectrum of works.
It is used to make intricately detailed, fragile vessels yet has the strength and density to be used in constructing skyscrapers.
This exhibition considers the sculptural possibilities of glass, from vessel to minimalist sculpture, blown glass to cast glass, ancient artifact to popular culture icon.
Many of the acknowledged international “masters” of glass are included in the exhibition, among them William Morris, Stanislav Libensky and Jaroslava Brychtova, Dante Marioni, Dale Chihuly, Lino Tagliapietra and Bertil Vallien, as are New Mexico’s own glass artists Charlie Miner, Timothy Horn, Tony Jojola, Stacey Neff, and Mary Shaffer, Jeff Goodman among others.
