Entitled ‘Nomads’, this murano flask collection is a universal iconic accessory that transcends an ever-evolving pattern of life through alcohol, a substance that disrupts social masks imposed by societal etiquettes and reveals human emotions in its rawest forms. Its design is inspired by traditional shapes and offers different ways of consumption; a larger size to use as a carafe and displayed on a bar or a smaller one designed as a portable object.
They are unique pieces, each skillfully mouth-blown and consciously crafted in a kaleidoscope of hues ranging from alessandrite and amethyst to amber, ruby and cobalt. They wondrously highlight a creative process associated with solidity and fragility, strength and delicacy, chaos and form, randomness and precision, unruly and controlled, spirit and matter, and natural vs man-made.
