Sestiere perpetuates traditional glass processing and creatively reinterprets it in a lively tribute to Venice. The vase is designed as a blown glass ball that is almost harnessed by a net of cords. Each cord, or ‘morisa’ in the Murano tradition, is applied by hand to the exterior of the vase, lending it a pleasingly imperfect effect. The morise are decorated with ‘rigadin’, the typical striped motif of the lagoon. Vase and cord, two very different glass languages, harmoniously co-exist to create an unprecedented partnership between form, function and craftsmanship. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
