TOUCH-ME 2.0, 2020 with "new glass"
Glass is a strange material. Hard and fragile at the same time. It is apparently light, but heavier than concrete. It is precious even if made of poor materials.
Glass objects have a sort of mystical aura, which in a certain sense preserves them from being touched; it is no coincidence that "do not touch" is the warning we most frequently see in glass shops. At home that tag is not there, but the idea is still present in our minds, so we find very difficult to dust that vase, that frame, that glass object, because we perceive it as "fragile" and we are afraid of breaking it.
The "Touch-me" series is a research project aimed to demolish this sort of mental barrier that denies the public any kind of interaction with glass objects. It does so in a radical way, allowing normal people to shape a glass object, touching it with their own hands without the danger of getting burned.
"Touch-me" vases MUST be touched!
In some ways, it is a rebellious project because it makes the act of manipulating glass democratic, and no longer prerogative of the glass-makers' elite. Therefore, everyone can shape these vases, actively participating to the creative process.
For each vase, the glass has been cut, decorated, and combined by hand, obtaining a manipulable "fabric.” Even more important, the glass of this new series comes from production waste, making the "Touch-me" series sustainable and an excellent example of a circular economy.

Galerie Philia
Galerie Philia is an international contemporary sculptural design and art gallery representing emerging and established designers and artists. The gallery is the brainchild of two brothers who share a lifetime passion for art, literature and philosophy. Their distinct academic background sets them apart from their peers, as it sees them following a rhizomatic and transcultural approach in the way they select works. This involves combining elements from multiple cultures in what becomes a network of harmoniously interconnected roots, ultimately revealing the beauty of each unique creation. The gallery’s non-hierarchical curation sits apart from the ephemerality of trends and focuses instead on the true aesthetic quality of the piece – alluring and timeless. Unlike others, Galerie Philia does not focus on a single style – whether minimalist, organic or raw – but rather embraces heterogeneity. The Galerie Philia takes pride in discovering new talents, providing them with multiple international platforms to showcase their latest creations. As well as propelling the newest generation of 21st century collectible design, Galerie Philia also works with internationally known design artists. Galerie Philia has a strong international presence, with galleries in Geneva, New York and Singapore. In addition to their permanent spaces, the gallery organizes temporary group exhibitions and artists residencies in first-class locations around the world.
