“
A master of industrial design created for Arnolfo di Cambio a collection of glasses characterized by their harmoniously irregular shape.
A design conceived as a means to harmonise the contrast between triangularity and circularity, posing some serious challenges even to Arnolfo di Cambio’s master crystal blowers. To blow glass in a circular shape starting from a triangular base is quite a complex process, which therefore requires high technical skills. In fact, the glass originated from a single piece of crystal made with a single blow.
