Inside Soneva Fushi’s Art and Glass Studio

Instead of the common act of crushing bottles and selling the crushed glass to a recycling company, Soneva Fushi takes on this entire process themselves by upcycling it with their Art and Glass studio.

It starts by crushing the glass and melting it in Soneva’s state-of-the-art glass furnace. Then a variety of techniques are used, such as blowing, casting, and slumping to create extraordinary items that are of a much higher value than the glass was in its original form as a bottle.

Their skilled team of glass specialists create signature items for the restaurants and villas at Soneva Fushi and for sister resort in the Maldives, Soneva Jani. All of their pieces are available for purchase at So Glasscycle.

The resort also offers guests the chance to experience this art. ‘Our team of glass experts will guide you in creating your own masterpiece out of 100% recycled glass.’
