Blue Murano Glass Hourglass, VELENI by L+W, 2022, Limited Edition Collectibles
About the Item
"A delicate yet beautifully emblematic object symbolizing the passing of time, VELENI’s Hourglass HO-30lb is characterized by the mesmerizing flow of a synthetic detergent creating geometrical shapes as it glides across its glass body. The object is crafted with the purpose of questioning whether there is still time to find an antidote to the pollutants surrounding us.
VELENI is a collection of 12 glass sculptures designed by Lanzavecchia + Wai and crafted by the expert hands of Murano’s glass blowers, a contemporary vanitas shedding awareness on the impact humankind has had on Earth.
A series of objects whose beauty can confound, the collection’s interior is enriched by aesthetically pleasing yet extremely dangerous pollutants. Revealed by the transparency of glass whilst isolated by airtight chambers,the appeal of the colors clashes with what they actually represent, making us wonder: how and why is our waste so close to what we consume?
Playing with proportions and volumes, the collection allows us to visualize the pollutants generated by our lives, which contaminate our waters and end up on our tables.
VELENI hopes to lead you onto a journey of self-discovery, to a maturation of awareness on how pollution is jeopardizing our health, and the environment.
