Ariosi Wall Vase, Medium, Lagoon Blue, Sandblasted, by Laura Sattin

About the Item

“Take life lightly, for lightness is not superficiality, but gliding above things, not having weights on your heart”. It is from this famous phrase by Italo Calvino that the design of “ariosi” vases was born. The lightness of the mouth-blown glass is accentuated by the glass-working technique used, made pouring into the molten glass a component that reacts and in doing so releases gas bubbles. The small bubbles enclosed in the glass create an extremely light and “airy” texture. Each piece is shaped freehand, therefore unique. Mouth-blown glass vase with a bubbly texture, sandblasted and waxed to obtain a satin, smooth and soft surface. It has a 1cm wide hole for hanging it to the wall. This piece has been designed by Laura Sattin and made in collaboration with skilled glass-blowers in a furnace at the foot of the Bernese Alps, in Switzerland. The slight variations in shape and subtle tool marks that can be seen in the glass, all testify to the authenticity of the craftsmanship.

  • Contemporary Gradienti Vase Medium, Aurora Light-Aqua Blue by Laura Sattin
    Located in 1204, CH
    The collection called ‘Gradienti’ is inspired by the infinite colour nuances of the sky. The technique used to make these vases is called ‘sfumato’, where the goal is to achieve imperceptible transitions between hues of soft colours. Because of the unpredictable behaviour of the colours during melting and during the hot working pro- cess, every vase is different: sometimes the transition from one colour to another is perfectly smooth, other times you can read a clear transition, a kind of horizon. This unpredictable component is what makes each vase unique. To make a piece, two colours of molten glass are combined at the beginning of the glass-making process. They are then dipped in an extra thin layer of transparent glass and mouth-blown into a wooden mould. Finally, the opening of the vase is shaped freehand. After cooling overnight in the kiln, the vases are sandblasted and waxed giving the pieces a satin, smooth and soft surface. Gradient mouth-blown glass, fading from steel blue to warm grey, sandblasted and waxed. This piece has been designed by Laura Sattin...
