Dezeen Showroom: Chinese homeware brand Tickle Quo has launched the Slowly Rising collection of glassware, which features textured glass surfaces informed by the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi.

Designed by the brand founder Tongqi Lu, the Slowly Rising collection includes tumblers, wine glasses, a coffee cup with a metal saucer and a vase.

Informed by textures found in nature and wabi-sabi – an ancient Japanese philosophy that embraces the beauty of imperfections – the collection features a dappled surface made from blown glass.

"When holding the glass, you can feel the bumpy surface, just as if you were feeling soil falling through your fingers," said Tickle Quo.

Available in two shades of green, the glass containers are paired with metal elements, including the stem on the wine glass, the handle on the coffee cup and the saucer.
