Sophie Lou Jacobsen Debuts Disco Aperitivo at Salone del Mobile 2026
French-American designer Sophie Lou Jacobsen launched Disco Aperitivo, a tableware collection, during Salone del Mobile 2026 in Milan. The collection features borosilicate glass pieces with applied Swarovski crystals, balancing decadence and minimalism. Jacobsen collaborated with Venetian craftsmen for copper enameling on Styrx serving plates and La Donna cigarette box. She has worked with the same glass factory for seven years and maintains a separate practice with a New York glassblower. Her work draws inspiration from historical decorative arts, 70s-90s aesthetics, and Italian aperitivo culture. Jacobsen's designs aim to bring emotion to everyday objects, as seen in her Calla pendants and sconces.
