Aric Snee

Aric Snee is an artist and designer and he teaches glass art at Ball University, School of Art in Muncie Indiana, USA. Aric Snee has been working with glass for over 15 years in academic, studio and factory environments. The Scandinavian design tradition has since run like a connecting thread throughout Aric Snee’s work, which is both minimalist and organic. This is especially true of Urania, which Aric Snee designed in 2014. The acoustic glass amp works with iPhone 4, 5 and 6. Urania is formed from a single piece of blown glass, making it that rare work of art that is at once highly aesthetic and genuinely practical. Urania is an amalgamation of authentic blown-glass craftsmanship and an ultra-modern “slow sound” philosophy that bridges past and present. No batteries, not electricity and no streaming – just visionary glass design. Urania also serves as a decorative and sculptural glass stand.
