CRYSTAL BALL
Catalog
Year of design 2013
The collection of vases-sculpture Crystal Ball as the name suggests, binds the fragility of the glass to the
memory of a childhood game, the magic bubbles that were a cult in the ‘90s, hence inspired the name of the
collection. The idea of the game, of the lightness, finds the child in these parts where the small bases in solid ash
wood, sustain the great spheres of Pyrex, thus being to create a visual imbalance between fullness and
emptiness, between fragility and strength.
