Verde Sospeso
A collection of architectural, totemic vases whose design merges nature, design and art.
“Verde Sospeso” is a collection of architectural column vases designed to celebrate greenery. Like altars, these objects aim to represent the fusion of nature, design, and art, offering a unique and evocative domestic experience.
The columns of “Verde Sospeso” rise majestically to varying heights, resembling imposing tree trunks, creating a forest-like atmosphere. Their presence evokes a sense of stability and strength, establishing a captivating and magical ambiance.The columns go beyond being mere decorative elements or containers; thanks to the plants they house, they become living works of art, a means of enhancing the beauty of nature by creating a domestic green space.
The three column vases were created both analogically and digitally. Utilizing 3D printing support, these sculptures were crafted with precision and skill before being adorned using the traditional mosaic technique.This combination of ancient and modern techniques creates a synergy between the past and the present, between technology and craftsmanship.
The surfaces of the columns, inspired by classical twisting columns, are adorned with a vibrant mosaic of unique craftsmanship. Each elongated tile was carefully selected in terms of color to create a graphic composition that harmonizes with the shapes and colors of nature itself.
“Verde Sospeso” invites interaction and exploration, offering the opportunity to incorporate more nature into our daily lives while simultaneously celebrating the refinement of artisanal mosaic in this unusual application. It creates an unprecedented blend of nature, design, and art.
The project has been realized in collaboration with mosaic atelier Koko Mosaico with the support of WASP 3D printing technology.
