About
The Unicorn Collection took shape in a glassblowing studio through an elective at the North Carolina School of Science and Math (NCSSM)—where fire met curiosity, and a symbol was born! Atlas Lad envisioned and brought to life custom-made, glass unicorn horns, each one meticulously handcrafted to celebrate the wonder of this timeless symbol (and school mascot).
Why Unicorns?
Under the mentorship of Jonathan Michael Davis, an award-winning artist, Atlas developed his vision for the Unicorn Collection. Today, this project is more than art—it’s a nonprofit initiative funding student entrepreneurship and innovation. Whether you're an educator, a founder chasing the next billion-dollar idea, or an investor fueling the future, this Unicorn horn belongs on your shelf.
The Process
From flame to form, each horn is meticulously shaped by student artisans using time-honored glassblowing techniques—no molds, no shortcuts—just molten glass, steady hands, and a steadfast dedication to the craft. Every Unicorn horn is as unique as the person it’s made for.
CUSTOM CASE
To protect and showcase these one-of-a-kind creations, we designed a custom display case that reflects the uniqueness and wonder of each unicorn horn. Crafted with care, the case is lined with luxurious silk to cradle the horn gently, ensuring its safety and elegance. The exterior features a sleek, minimalist design, while the interior reveals a rich, vibrant silk that highlights the beauty of the piece. At the heart of the box lies an inspiring mantra—“Dream. Create. Achieve.” It’s a celebration of imagination, craftsmanship and achievement.
