The handmade housewares brand Upstate was founded by New York designer Kalen Kaminski, who was inspired to create her new Cuesta series by the color-field paintings of Helen Frankenthaler. After initially envisioning the vase and pitcher with watercolors on canvas, Kaminski handed her artworks to glassblower Grace Whiteside at Urban Glass, who brought the final pieces to life.
