Glassmaking Technique

Each vase is crafted using the prestigious Venetian technique Incamiciato.

The master glassmaker layers several sheets of colored glass that are still red-hot (hot-on-hot), creating a dual chromatic depth in which the inner color dialogues with the outer one.

This extremely complex craftsmanship gives the glass a soft luminosity and an extraordinary visual richness impossible to achieve with simple surface colorations.

The entire process is carried out exclusively by hand, making each piece unique.

Lighting Effects

Thanks to the technique Incamiciato, the light slowly passes through the different layers of glass, creating soft reflections and an extraordinary chromatic depth.

In the 0040 Medium, characterized by a large and continuous surface, this effect is even more evident: the rounded body acts as a lens, amplifying the nuances and delicately diffusing the color into the environment.

In natural light, the vase appears luminous and velvety; in the evening hours, it acquires a more intense and sculptural presence.
