Sophie Lou Jacobsen is a New York City–based design studio that reimagines essential home objects through a lens of joy, poetry, and ritual. Founded in 2019 by the French-American designer, the brand quickly garnered a cult following for its signature borosilicate glassware, characterized by rippled silhouettes, vibrant jewel tones, and a playful postmodern aesthetic. Drawing on her background in industrial design and a childhood spent between London and Paris, Jacobsen approaches everyday items—from pitchers to stemware—as functional sculptures capable of altering the user’s mood.
