Maria Grazia Rosin - Soft Silica Light -2024
Maria Grazia Rosin
Soft Silica Light is a new collection of luminous objects designed by Maria Grazia Rosin, blending traditional glassblowing techniques with modern aesthetics. These pieces are part of the larger Morbida Macchina Silicea - Soft Silica Machine - project, first presented at the Murano Illumina il Mondo exhibition in Venice. Inspired by 19th-century pastel stucco ceilings in Palazzo Bragadin, the objects feature soft pinks, ancient greens, and golden yellows.
When designer Sigrid de Montrond discovered in a Murano furnace boxes and boxes of singular pieces of antique lighting fixtures, some dating back to the eighteenth century, she was inspired to salvage and reassemble them into stunning lamps, chandeliers, candleholders, tiebacks and necklaces.
Sigrid de Montrond
Vincent Lajarige, a lifelong painter and sculptor, who also trained as a doctor and worked with the Red Cross and Medecins du Monde, traveling extensively. His visits to the Amazon deeply impacted him, the tropical forests evoking a powerful emotional and aesthetic revelation about humanity's connection to the planet. His sculptures feature driftwood, found wood with pigment inlays, and resin incorporating shavings and sawdust, with variable dimensions. Lajarige's work invites viewers to explore the mystery of things, emphasizing themes of rescue, resurrection, and the enduring continuity of life.
