John Pomp

John Pomp is a design-driven artisan manufacturer focused on creating abstracted organic works of furniture and lighting. Inspired by elemental materials in transitory states and informed by almost otherworldly natural phenomena, John Pomp’s work combines molten glass, warped metal, and refracted light to create imaginative, organic forms. Led by designer, artist, and glassblower John Pomp with his partner Anne, a team of over 50 creatives design and make each piece from concept to completion in-house. With a sculptural, experimental approach to design, the work develops through a non-linear process explored through various methods, including abstract glass studies, organic form generating, and process discovery. This approach leads to a designed process rather than a product. Each piece is made from scratch in their sqft Philadelphia studio using a combination of modern techniques and old-world craftsmanship. Working out of his studio in Philadelphia, John together with his wife, Anne, and their team of over 40 creatives, design and create each and every piece from concept to completion in-house, providing a proprietary look and feel that can only be achieved by owning the processes that combine to make the studio’s sculptural work. Using these processes as a source of inspiration, rather than a means to an end, the studio explores the relationship between fluid materials. By owning all their manufacturing processes in their Philadelphia studio, they are able to create and customize any piece for their clients.
