Hidden Trails — Glassware Disruptor Sophie Lou Jacobsen's Insider Guide to Exploring New York

A young woman dressed in a black, simple long-sleeved top and denim trousers sits with her profile to the camera on a white couch covered in colorful and white cushions in front of a wall-wide bookshelf filled with books and sculptural artifacts.

What better way to see the world than through the eyes of our favorite tastemakers? In Hidden Trails, we look at the places that feel most like home to our community of design insiders — wherever those might be — to help you uncover what their cities have in store for you.

Sophie Lou Jacobsen's whimsical glassware, lighting, and collectibles remind me of many things, from the air of mystery in potion flasks that change color, fume, and contort in children's fairy tales to the charm of mid-century France's pop balloon glasses and the priceless preciousness of a serendipitous antique find. Perhaps that's what's making her work so resonant for industry insiders and décor enthusiasts alike — its ability to simultaneously amuse, enthrall, and inspire, to tell a story and, somehow, to defy time.
