Patchwork Glass Vases by Nendo
Posted in: Lasvit, Milan 2013Milan 2013: Japanese design studio Nendo has unveiled a collection of glass vases inspired by patchwork quilts at the Dilmos Gallery in Milan this week.
Nendo created the vases by reheating a variety of glass objects decorated with traditional cut glass patterns, slicing them open and then rearranging the pieces. “As a manner of making, the process was like sewing together animal hides, or piecing together small fragments of cloth to create a great patchwork quilt,” say the designers.
Patchwork Glass Vases, for Czech glassware brand Lasvit, are on show at the Dilmos Gallery, Piazza San Marco 1 until 14 April.
The Patchwork Glass collection also includes a pendant lamp, made using the same production technique, which is on show at Lasvit’s exhibition at Via Stendhal 35.
Other projects presented by Nendo in Milan this week include a chair shaped like a high-heeled shoe and a collection of products in collaboration with Italian designer Luca Nichetto. The designers also recently refurbished the womenswear floor of the city’s La Rinascente department store.
