About the Item

“Saqqarah” vase designed by Nanae Umeda, for the glasswares series 'Handle with Care'. Serigraph (silk screen) printing by Egizia, produced and directed by Sottsass Associati. It's design sits well within the Memphis school of Post-Modernism. A brillant and high quality work that will stand the test of time. This is a double-thickness blown glass vase (query, glass production by Rosenthal) featuring hand-silkscreen decoration in shiny enamels, contrasted with a 24 kt gold and enamel overlay. The whole then baked in a kiln to fix the finish to the glass. Dimensions: 17.5 cm Diam 30 cm Height It was produced as part of a series of print-on-glass pieces titled 'Handle With Care'. The designs by various young designers, drawn together by Sottsass Associati studio. The glass is a high quality double-thickness production (assumed by Rosenthal but I have not been able to confirm). The designs were printed by hand using a silk screen method at the workshop Egizia, in Tuscany. Over six decades this workshop developed expertise, proprietary materials and methods for screen printing on on glass. They were sought out for their expertise to work hand in hand with designers on this collaborative project. This vase exemplifies the multilayered collaboration and production methods and the facilitation of inter-expert design that have made great Italian design possible since the 1970s. With quality as it's core principle, this Italian collaborative design process ensures experts from various fields can come together to facilitate production to a standard none could have achieved on their own. About the designer: Nanae Umeda was invited to this collaboration as a promising young designer. She worked at the office of Ettore Sottsass in Italy from 1993 to 2000. She is the daughter of famous Memphis design collaborator and designer Masanori Umeda. About the Studio: Sottsass Associati is an influential Italian design studio founded by Ettore Sottsass in 1981. Known for its innovative and unconventional approach, the studio works across architecture, industrial design, furniture, lighting, homeware, and graphic design. Ettore Sottsass (1917–2007) was a central figure in the Italian Radical Movement of the 1960s and 1970s and a founder of the Memphis group in 1981. His work is characterized by bold colors, geometric forms, and unusual materials, often exploring themes of memory, identity, and culture. Sottsass Associati has collaborated with major international brands including Alessi, B&B Italia, Cassina, and Memphis. Their designs are held in museum collections around the world, cementing their reputation as one of the most influential design studios globally.
