Small Maple Cutting Board from the Deborah Ehrlich Collection

Deborah Ehrlich has been known for her exquisitely simple crystal glassware since 1999, launching her career with Takashimaya and Moss. Her work is featured in collections around the world, including March SF, E.R. Butler&Co., and Blue Hill at Stone Barns. Classically trained as a sculptor, each piece is a union of contemporary forms and traditional techniques. With her commitment to the highest quality artisanship, her work is instantly recognizable for its purity and delicacy. Designed in the Hudson Valley, her crystal is paper thin, clear as water, and absolutely flawless. Hand blown, cut, and polished by master craftsmen in Sweden, the strength of the crystal enables her to push the limits between elegance and strength. Her furniture and light installations are fabricated with incredible attention to detail, using traditional techniques, by one of the most highly skilled artisans in the United States. The quality of the work speaks for itself, and has created a loyal following for over 18 years. “Knowing when you’ve found a perfectly balanced proportion is no guessing game,” she says. “It’s like feeling in the dark for a door handle—when you come upon it, the emptiness becomes structured. It’s very, very clear that by finding it, you are holding onto a much larger piece of architecture.”
