Playground Collection.
Vases.
The Playground collection was born from a desire to bring color, surprise and emotion back to the heart of design. Each piece results from playful yet refined research, combining puffy, airy volumes with lively textures, irregular patterns and vibrant color palettes.
The design begins with a simple idea: to free blown glass from its traditional and static forms, allowing it to explode into a dance of stackable, interchangeable, and always unique elements. These modules build totem-like towers inspired by childhood, building games, but also contemporary art and sculpture.
Every piece is handcrafted in our furnace on the island of Murano. Each form is mouth-blown and refined by hand. Tiny bubbles, uneven lines, colorful inclusions – they all speak of the material’s artisanal and singular nature.
Playground is an open and customizable collection, designed to bring irony and character into contemporary living spaces – as playful light sculptures or decorative pieces that tell a personal story.

STRIPES.
Glass canes are thin cylinders of colored glass, produced individually and cut into segments that are arranged side by side on a refractory plate. Once reheated in the furnace, the segments fuse together to form a single glass sheet, which is then gathered and blown by the master glassmaker.
The striped pattern is created by the alternation of the canes, which during the process retain their chromatic purity and generate an elegant optical effect of depth.
DOTS.
The graniglia technique in Murano glassmaking consists of applying small fragments of colored glass, known as graniglia, onto the surface of the molten glass.
The glassmaker gathers the hot glass from the furnace and rolls it over a bed of graniglia, which immediately fuses with the glass body. During the blowing process, the colored specks spread irregularly, creating a lively and dynamic effect that makes each piece unique.
CARRARA MARBLE.
Carrara marble is one of the most prestigious and renowned types of marble in the world, extracted from the quarries of the Apuan Alps in the Carrara region of Tuscany, Italy. It is celebrated for its elegant white or pearly background color with delicate grey veining, which gives it a timeless and sophisticated appearance.
CAPRI MARBLE.
Capri marble is a natural limestone known for its elegant and clean white or cream-colored appearance. It has a fine to medium grain with a uniform background, often featuring small, scattered dark brown dots or tiny fossil remains that add character. This marble is admired for its delicate, creamy tone that evokes the Mediterranean aesthetic.
ASIAGO RED MARBLE.
Asiago marble, particularly known as Rosso Asiago or Rosso Verona, is a high-quality Italian marble quarried in northern Italy, especially in the Asiago Plateau area. It is characterized by a warm reddish hue that ranges from bright red to deep brown-red tones, with variations depending on the quarry location and extraction depth. The marble’s surface may show broad chromatic waves or more linear patterns depending on the cutting method (cross-cut or vein-cut).
