I dream of creating light, resilient forms with an elaborate textile organization; where with simple effects I exploit the delicacy and transparency of the glass.

Mohl began his career as a glass-blower for a Danish firm before his proficiency earned him a position with famed glass artist Lino Tagliapietro. Mohl deftly combines Venetian glass-blowing techniques with a decidedly Scandinavian aesthetic, resulting in seemingly effortless, elegant vessels of actual complex design and structure.
