2006 is starting off under the sign of innovation for Salviati. Today, Salviati combines research on glass and changing designs with explicit efforts to make this formidable material more accessible to a young, dynamic and resolutely urban target.
The bowl is the emblem for this new focus: an object for daily use, humble and essential, requiring the designer and glassmaker to face up to streamlined designs through a process of subtraction. It is therefore the effect of the surface, the texture, the material in its purest state that stands out.
So here we have a range of objects to be used, designed to mark the home and life, to provide a magic touch for the day-to-day, to allow us to rediscover our love for beauty and fun, even in everyday small things. Simplicity, beauty, irony: that is what the new Salviati wave is all about.
Pop: the smooth black surface is dotted with white walls, a stunning tessellate mosaic.
Vertigo, Spin: slim rods of white glass are merged on the surface of the object. The turning of the blowpipe in the hands of the master glassmaker imbues the glass with a circular movement. The hypnotic effect is guaranteed.
A powerful breath of life modelling a drop of changing material at the end of a metal pipe: in essence, all the master glassmaker’s art stems from this act. The Drops series, produced in Murano, celebrates this act with the simplicity and lightness of spontaneous and random lines.
Today, this series is being enriched with a new miniature size in several colours, to charmingly decorate all corners of the home, to make all the beauty of a thousand-year-old tradition accessible to reflect a new art of living. For the beginning of this year, the Drops are dressed in black. A total black look for a sophisticated version, in the spirit of the latest trends. The know-how of a craftsman, a seductive design and fashionable colours: that is all the Salviati spirit in a few small drops.
