Bacan Vase by Purho

About the Item

Bacan vase by Purho Dimensions: D28 x H40 cm Materials: Murano glass Available in other colors. Bacan is a vase from the Laguna Collection designed by Ludovica+Roberto Palomba for Purho in spring 2022. Characterised by generous forms with upper folded edges, Bacan — which name refers to the sandy strip of land that emerges in the lagoon at low tide — reflects the creative process given by close dialogue between the designers and glass-master. A balancing act that takes just a few moments to shape the material and freeze the moment for a vase that seems moulded by the wind and tides. Made of Murano glass in iridescent colours and sandblasted finishes, Bacan completes the other 8 vases of the Laguna Collection: a composite set of organic forms, apparently imperfect cylinders, lavish bags which fold onto themselves, in which which formal flow is interrupted only by the engraving on two of the vases. A departure for a collection that is a tribute to Murano and the lagoon that surrounds it. Purho is a new protagonist of made in Italy design , a work of synthesis, a research that has lasted for years, an Italian soul and an international character, thematic collections of Murano glass objects , designed by great designers, made by great glass masters. Purho expresses the identity and the original vocation of design: to create “fairytale objects ”, vases, lights, glasses and other glasses capable of living forever in space and time in a correct, magical and ultra-functional way. Purho was born from an untouchable, divine concept-word, purity, contaminated by material factors, earth, air, fire, water, enriched by the human factor, that h which indicates humanitas , i.e. transience, perfection of imperfection, uniqueness. Purho is the materialization of an aspiration , a tension towards imperfect perfection, that is, a radically, profoundly human drive.
