Sestiere Vase

Design

Sestiere emerges from the intersection of two distinct glass-making expressions: the softness of the blown-glass bubble and the graphic rhythm of the cords that wrap around its surface.

The main body maintains a full, continuous form, while the *morise* appear to harness the volume, creating a visual tension between freedom and structure.

The result is a vase with a strong, sculptural identity, in which the decoration is not merely an added surface detail, but an active participant in the construction of the form itself.

Murano tradition and craftsmanship

The collection celebrates traditional Murano glass-making techniques, reinterpreting them through a contemporary lens.

Each morisa is applied by hand to the external surface of the vase, intentionally leaving slight variations visible that testify to the manual nature of the process.

The cords are also decorated with rigadin, the characteristic striped motif linked to Venetian tradition.

This craftsmanship ensures that no two vases are alike, lending the surface a remarkably rich tactile and visual quality.

Materials and finishes

Sestiere is crafted from glass using traditional Murano techniques.

The interplay of transparency, color, and texture causes the surface to shift and change depending on the light and the viewer’s perspective.

A unique piece

One of the defining characteristics of Sestiere is that every single vase is entirely unique.

The manual processing of the morise, the application of the cords and the natural variations in the glass ensure that no two pieces are perfectly identical.

These subtle differences are not imperfections; rather, they are an integral part of the product’s value—a testament to the artisan’s hand.

Color and graphic presence

Vibrant colors, rooted in the Venetian tradition, are reinterpreted here within a clean, contemporary form.

The contrast between the body of the vase and the external lattice creates a bold graphic presence, highlighting both the transparency of the glass and the three-dimensional quality of the applied details.

As a result, Sestiere retains a strong identity even when displayed as a decorative object without flowers.

Versatility and adaptability

Sestiere is well-suited for a variety of settings—from living rooms to console tables, sideboards, dining tables, or open shelving units.

It can function as a vase or stand alone as a sculptural piece, serving as a focal point within any arrangement.

The richness of its craftsmanship makes it particularly well-suited for formal spaces, the hospitality sector, and contract projects, where decorative objects play a key role in defining the character of a space.
