ColorLab - Bringing Color to the Everyday
At Block Design, color has always been more than a finishing touch. It’s a starting point, a source of inspiration, and often the spark behind an entire collection.
Our ColorLab collection is where it all began. This collection was born from our fascination with the way color can transform everyday objects. Through carefully considered combinations and playful contrasts, we've created a collection that celebrates the joy of living with color. Each piece in the collection is designed to bring a sense of curiosity and creativity into the home.
The Beauty of Colorful Borosilicate Glass
Glass has a unique ability to interact with light, revealing new dimensions of color throughout the day. This ever-changing quality is what makes glass such an exciting material to work with.
Within the ColorLab collection, transparent layers, unexpected color pairings, and geometric forms combine to create pieces that feel both contemporary and timeless.
We see each object as a small experiment in color, exploring how different hues work together and how simple forms can create striking visual impact.
A Block Design Icon: The Reversible Glass Vase
Few products embody the spirit of ColorLab quite like our Reversible Glass Vase.
Designed to be displayed and enjoyed from every angle, its clever reversible design allows you to style it in multiple ways. Turn it one way for a sculptural statement stem, flip it over for a fuller arrangement, and watch as the coloured glass transforms with changing light throughout the day.
Playful, versatile, and instantly recognisable, it has become one of Block Design's most loved pieces and a perfect example of our approach to combining functionality with unexpected design.
Designed to Brighten Everyday Moments
We believe the objects we use every day should bring us joy.
Whether it's displaying fresh flowers in a colorful vase, setting the table with vibrant glassware, or adding a sculptural accent to a shelf, the ColorLab collection is designed to elevate everyday rituals through thoughtful design.
These are pieces that encourage interaction. They catch the light and spark conversation.
Meet the Pablo Glass Jug: Color at the Table
The artist inspired, Pablo Glass Jug perfectly demonstrates how ColorLab brings color into everyday rituals.
With its bold silhouette and carefully balanced color combinations, the Pablo Glass Jug transforms something as simple as serving water, juice, or cocktails into a design moment. The striking contrast between handle and body gives the piece its distinctive personality.
Whether used for entertaining guests or brightening a kitchen shelf, the Pablo Glass Jug celebrates the idea that practical objects can still be joyful.
Duo Tone Candle Holders: Small Objects, Big Impact
Some of the most impactful pieces in a home are often the smallest.
Our Duo Tone Candle Holders combine bold color pairings with simple geometric forms to create playful yet sophisticated accents. Designed to be mixed and matched, they bring warmth, colour, and personality to shelves, dining tables, and mantelpieces.
Like many pieces in the ColorLab collection, they celebrate contrast, proving that unexpected color combinations can feel both contemporary and timeless.
