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.
