“It is a great thrill to continue our personal and intimate investigation on Murano. Today, in collaboration with Purho, we want to tell and represent the nature of the elements through glass and its materiality” Ludovica+Roberto Palomba
Born under the sign of expressive freedom, of the immediacy of the sketches drawn on the floor of the furnace, Laguna reflects the close and empathic dialogue between the designers and the glass-master.
A balancing game that takes just a few moments to capture the idea, shape the material, freeze the moment.
"The results are generous and powerful vases and centrepieces, unique and unrepeatable and for this we have worked with a free-hand methodology. No moulds or constraints. Free processes just like water bending to the elements in ripples, waves." Ludovica+Roberto Palomba
Imagined as a composite set of organic forms outlined in multiple dimensions — apparently imperfect cylinders, lavish bags which crumple onto themselves, vases with folded edges — the entire collection lights up with iridescent colours and sandblasted finishes. It is the exaltation of the raw material, the sublimation of nature through the vitreous magma.
The only exception to the entire collection is the engraving which — like a mark left by the passage of natural elements — interrupts the flow, characterising two vases.
