Marta Giardini

BALLET

A collection of glasses and bottles designed by Marta Giardini, in blown glass crafted by hand using the most refined glassmaking techniques of Murano. The mineral colors are enhanced by silver leaf or a rigadin finish. The simple archetypal forms take on emphasis at times thanks to the incalmo technique that permits hot joining of parts of two different colors and shapes, with completely freehand workmanship. The collection takes its cue from the costumes of the Triadic Ballet by Oskar Schlemmer, reinterpreted in a precious contemporary tone.

FABULA

In this collection designed by Marta Giardini the carafes are the protagonists, with their sculptural presence. The informal volumes suggest living forms, animals, plants, human presences at times. Made in precious Murano glass with intense hues, all the pieces are blown and crafted by hand. Every item conserves the gestures of the artisan, making it practically one-of-a-kind.
