About the Techniques

Verre églomisé: The French technique of applying and gilding glass to produce mirror finishes, often embedding foreign materials within glass paste.

Oxidized glass: Glass with an intentionally hazy, etched appearance—typically considered a flaw, but creatively harnessed by Roche for unprecedented aesthetic effects.
