Daktyl Murano Glass Centerpiece: A Sculptural Bowl Inspired by Texture and Gesture
Imagine the organic grain of wood interpreted through the transparency and colour of Murano glass.
The Daktyl Centerpiece explores this unexpected relationship, transforming a functional bowl into a sculptural object with a distinctive material identity.
Its surface is defined by directional lines that give the glass texture and movement, creating an intriguing contrast between the appearance of a natural material and the character of hand-blown glass.
Glass with the Character of Wood Grain
Daktyl's defining feature comes from an unconventional approach to shaping glass.
Rather than relying solely on rotation, the glass is built through transverse lines that establish a directional pattern.
The result is a surface reminiscent of wood grain, with subtle variations that reveal the movement involved in creating each piece.
Selected glass rods also react to heat and oxidation during production, leaving delicate traces within the material.
These details give Daktyl its identity, connecting the finished object to the gestures that shaped it.
Four Colour Combinations
The centerpiece is available in Grey with White Decoration, Amethyst with White Decoration, Cass Green with White Decoration, and Cass Green with Aquamarine Decoration.
Grey provides a restrained, architectural appearance that works beautifully with neutral interiors.
Amethyst introduces a richer colour accent, while the Cass Green variations bring a fresh, natural character to the design.
The Aquamarine decoration adds a further contrast within the green version, emphasizing the relationship between colour and texture.
A Centrepiece for Everyday Living
Measuring approximately 12 cm high and 24 cm in diameter, Daktyl has generous proportions without being visually overwhelming.
Use it as a decorative bowl for fruit or selected objects, or display it empty to appreciate its sculptural form.
Its textured glass makes it particularly appealing on dining tables, coffee tables and sideboards, where light can interact with the surface throughout the day.
Complete the Daktyl Collection
Daktyl was conceived as a family of objects sharing the same visual language.
Combine the centerpiece with the collection's drinking glasses and pitcher for a coordinated table setting, or let it stand alone as a decorative object.
The relationship between its handmade texture and contemporary form makes it equally suited to everyday dining and more carefully arranged occasions.
Choose the Daktyl Centerpiece if you want your table to have a focal point even before the meal begins. Its unusual texture and individual character turn a familiar glass bowl into something worth looking at a little closer.
