Made Not Manufactured

Handmade in New York

Made, not manufactured is the mantra behind Niche. Every piece of Niche glass is hand-blown in our upstate New York factory. For over a decade, Niche has established a signature collection of stunning glass products by joining together contrasting elements, simple lines, and gorgeous color. We are committed to building our brand by bringing the most luxurious glass lighting into the world. 

Our Creative Director, Jeremy Pyles, starts each new piece with a sketch.

Following sketches comes a lot of hard work, patience and expertise until we see the vision come to life, right here in our glass studio.

We believe in authentic and original design, and are proud to be carrying on the tradition of glass-blowing within our local community.

Although each piece is unique, we strive to maintain the specifications of our initial design and ensure each piece meets our standard of excellence, and each piece is hand inspected.

Niche
Niche was founded in 2003 as an unexpected accident. The founders, Jeremy Pyles and Mary Welch, were designing products for their own lives that satisfied their particular design sensibilities.
