Caigo Vase by Purho

About the Item

Caigo vase by Purho Dimensions: D 30 x H 30 cm Materials: Murano glass Available in other colors and size. Caigo is a vase from the Laguna Collection designed by Ludovica+Roberto Palomba for Purho in spring 2022. Characterized by large volumes in contrast to the small upper mouth — suitable to accommodate even a single flower — Caigo, which name refers to the thick fog in the Venetian dialect, recalls the soft and folded shapes of a bag emptied of its contents. Thus the folds of the fabric become glass hollows and curves reflecting the creative dialogue between the designers and the master. Made of Murano glass in iridescent colours and sandblasted finishes, Caigo and Caigo Small — the smaller version — complete the other artefacts of the Laguna Collection: a composite set of organic forms, apparently imperfect cylinders in which the 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.
