Chaka Glass x Brian Jacobson V3 "Toricelli" Recycler

The Chaka Glass x Brian Jacobson v3 Torricelli Recycler Collaboration draws conceptual inspiration from Evangelista Torricelli (1608–1647), the Italian physicist and mathematician best known for his foundational work in fluid dynamics. Through intentional restrictions, directional flow paths, and pressure-driven movement, the design loosely interprets classical fluid behavior in sculptural form. While not a literal scientific model, the piece pays homage to Torricelli’s enduring influence on how we understand and manipulate the motion of fluids—translated here into contemporary functional glass.

This work stands as a fusion of historical reference, technical exploration, and modern glass artistry, honoring the legacy of early scientific inquiry through Chaka’s evolving technological innovation and Brian’s design.

A student of Galileo, Torricelli is credited with inventing the mercury barometer—an achievement that relied on precision glass apparatus and forever linked his scientific legacy to glass as both a material and a medium of discovery.

Torricelli’s contributions include Torricelli’s Law, which describes the velocity of fluid flowing from an orifice under gravity, and the early observation of the vena contracta, the narrowing of a fluid stream as it exits a restricted opening. These principles remain fundamental to modern fluid dynamics, influencing how liquids accelerate, constrict, and redirect within controlled systems.
