Salaka - This large vase with its bowl-like base is a generous form that suggests giving. The base flows into a clearly defined shoulder that leads into a long neck. The vertical cut in the neck is a sensual feature that lends itself to arranging flowers in various ways, underlining the offering gesture. The Salaka vase is made of two layers of Murano glass, a coloured layer outside and a white opaque layer inside, giving depth to the material. "I was curious about Murano glass and the age-old skills and sensitivities that are cultivated uniquely on this wonderful island," the designer explains. "It is exciting to create an object using the fascinating process of mouth blowing that has remained almost unchanged to this day. Glass is a precious sensorial material impregnated with meaning that offers the possibility of creating a delicate object almost instantaneously," he says. The vase is an ancient yet contemporary object that is found in nearly every culture in the world. It embodies the essence of our being. Placing a vase in a space is one of those everyday acts that can lift our mood. The Salaka vase in Murano glass creates an atmosphere that not only fills space but shapes it through the act of daily rituals that the object itself invites us to perform.
