Isla is the first outcome of the collaboration with Nouvel Studio. It is an original collection of vases in blown glass which celebrates glassblowers’ manual know-how as much as the great chromatic richness of the material.
The fruit of a year’s research in glassblowing workshops, the Isla vase was produced in two sizes and comes in a vast number of colour combinations, each of them marked by Mexico’s colourful environment. Glass has a unique ability to capture light and transmit colour, from the most aquatic to the deepest hue. These colours blend, overlap, match or clash, shimmering freely amongst each other. An infinite spectrum is to be discovered: more a variation of the possible than an authoritarian choice.
The designed typology is simple: an oval vase adorned with a circle. It is within the fixed geometry of this framework—with the idea of tending towards a perfect yet unattainable circle—that the delicacy of the project is expressed, making each piece unique.
