Water Illusion
The Water Illusion series is entirely handmade
in Italy, using 100% recycled glass and the complex technique of Cast Glass, a
particular process where crystal and "cotisso", a recycled glass, are
melted in crucibles at temperatures as high as 1500˚C. The glass is thick and
transparent; the surface is smooth but with internal ripples that give it a
"wavy" texture, like water. The bowls and vases come in two sizes and
two paste colours each, to offer iridescent and poetic shades on the horizontal
surfaces.
Glass containers inspired by the intense rhythm
of Zorba's Sirtaki, Water Illusion depicts the close contact between water and
the shoreline, between the waves and the sky, crystallising the sinuous, unique
and unrepeatable manifestations of the elements. Designed by Assia
Karaguiozova, the collection of vases and bowls can decorate surfaces in every
room and furnishing system, diversifying their function.
