abyss limited edition hand blow glass designed by johanna grawunder for salviati.
as featured on the cover of Abitare Magazine, an amazing edition of hand-blown glass from salviati. in the words of designer johanna grawunder: "abyss, realized by the maestri and artisans of salviati in murano, is not a collection of vases or containers or even sculptures exactly. the properties we have tried to examine with these pieces are not the rhetorical 'pyrotechnics', nor the dazzling decorative slights-of-hand often seen in murano glass. instead, we have tried to exploit the integrity of the material as mass and surface, with simple forms and layered colors; and coerce out of the glass, through small acrcheological gestures, the inherent properties of the material itself: energy, light and color."
abyss is offered in 9 styles which are limited to a mere 12 pieces each. every abyss is numbered and signed. please see individual item descriptions for details.
abyss 8 is the last piece available - Quick Ship!
