Sestiere

A collection of contemporary vases that preserves and interprets the quintessential Venetian legacy.‎ Sestiere perpetuates traditional glass processing and creatively reinterprets it in a lively tribute to Venice.‎The vase is designed as a blown glass ball that is almost harnessed by a net of cords.‎ Each cord, or ‘morisa’ in the Murano tradition, is applied by hand to the exterior of the vase, lending it a pleasingly imperfect effect.‎ The morise are decorated with ‘rigadin’, the typical striped motif of the lagoon.‎Vase and cord, two very different glass languages, harmoniously co-exist to create an unprecedented partnership between form, function and craftsmanship.‎ Each vase becomes a unique piece, a visible and tangible expression of hand craftsmanship.‎ONE-OF-A-KIND VIRTUOSITY in the art of blown glass ‘MORISA’ CORDS Each ‘morisa’ cord is different from the next, pleasingly imperfectOptions:Ø 23cmsea water green body and carrot red cords with black "rigadin"topaz body and periwinkle cords with black "rigadin"Ø 27cmamethyst body and lemon yellow cords with black "rigadin"blue body and petrol green cords with black "rigadin"
