Gli Oggetti - Blue Pallo

The Blue Pallo vase has a strong and elegant spirit. Its spherical shape and generous spout make it an object of great decorative value as well as both graphical and minimalist in style. Blue Pallo is an evocative example of Carina Seth Andersson’s design research. Her careful study of dimensions translates into an original balance between simplicity and meaningful form.   The Blue Pallo vase was designed for Skruf, the historic Swedish glassmakers that specialises in high-quality blown glass, and made exclusively for Poltrona Frau in the special midnight blue colour. A deep colour that exalts the beauty of the hand-blown glass, offering a glimpse of its transparency. Several vases can be positioned next to each other to create striking overlapping and light effects. The Poltrona Frau logo and the designer’s signature are inscribed on the bottom of vase.
