Hand-Crafted Vases

Designer Lara Bohinc explores the marriage of ancient and futuristic form in the new fortress vase range, which has created a more complex geometric and modern structure from the original inspiration of the octagonal towers at the Diocletian Palace in Croatia. The resulting hexagonal blocks interlock and embrace to allow the play of light and shade on the many surfaces and angles. There are four fortress shapes: The larger column and castle (45 cm height), the pillar (30 cm height) and the tower vase...

Lara Bohinc’s collection is inspired by her encounters with Venice. Metal frames hold Bohinc’s Murano glass vases and are reminiscent of the foundations upon which Venice was built: the metal is strong, rigid and geometric; the glass likes water, being fluid, organic and irrepressible. This playful twist on the foundations of Venice is the inspiration behind this collection, a marriage of opposites is also found in the Hotel Bauer’s modern and neogothic architecture, in seamless union in spite of their different architectural movements. And like Venice, The Bauer is hosting to a set of dichotomies, the embodiment of contradictions and geometry with the organic, a theme that Bohinc expresses in this collection. Venice is synonymous with water and glass is the perfect material to represent this, also being one of the city’s most celebrated materials and traditions. The voluptuous forms in this body of work are blown from within a metal cage and this style also features in traditional Venetian sculptural glass. Bohinc has created the Venturi collection in ruby red, rose, sapphire, white filigrana glass, lilac and petrol blue with the metal frames glazed in bronze. The process of handblown glass forms unique, organic pieces and Bohinc oversaw their production at Murano’s artisanal workshop Massimiliano Schiavo Art team. Each vase is handmade in Venice from Murano glass in a small artisanal workshop. All Venturi vases are unique pieces therefore the size and colour may vary. Slight variations in Murano glassware pieces are a confirmation of fine crafting. The tiny bubble are formed by gases when chemicals unite in the fusing or melting of the raw ingredients. These bubbles do not affect the quality or the beauty of the glass, instead are one of Murano's signature controlled errors, where one can see the artisanal nature of the product. How to clean...
