Formosi Vase: Contemporary Murano Glass Defined by Contrast
Formosi explores the visual tension between transparency and opacity.
The collection combines see-through coloured glass with opaque black, creating a striking contrast that gives its otherwise restrained silhouette a strong contemporary identity.
Rather than relying on intricate decorative patterns, Formosi makes the relationship between two different glass effects the centre of the design.
Transparent Colour Meets Opaque Black
Formosi is available in two polished colour combinations: Aqua/Black and Topaz/Black.
In the Aqua/Black version, the transparency of aquamarine glass creates a fresh contrast against the darker opaque sections.
Topaz/Black introduces a warmer palette, where golden tones interact with the depth of black glass.
The polished finish emphasizes both effects, allowing reflections to move across the surface while the transparent sections reveal greater depth.
This interplay makes Formosi particularly interesting when viewed from different angles or under changing lighting conditions.
Two Shapes, Two Ways to Display
The collection is available in two distinct proportions.
The taller vase measures 48 cm high and 23 cm in diameter, giving it a strong vertical presence suited to consoles, sideboards and statement displays.
The wider bowl measures 18 cm high and 27 cm in diameter, offering a lower, more horizontal composition that works naturally on coffee tables, dining tables and other broad surfaces.
Both forms share the same visual language, making them suitable for individual display or as complementary pieces within the same interior.
Designed for Contemporary Spaces
Formosi works particularly well in interiors where contrast is an important part of the design.
Against light-coloured walls or neutral furnishings, the black sections create a strong visual anchor while the transparent glass introduces colour without appearing completely solid.
Its clean lines also allow it to complement stone, wood, metal and contemporary furniture.
Each Formosi piece is handcrafted in Murano, preserving the individual character of handmade Venetian glass.
Custom sizes and colours are also available on request.
Choose Formosi when you want a decorative object that feels confident without being overly ornate. Its combination of transparent colour and opaque black brings just the right amount of contrast to make a table, console or corner of your home feel more distinctive.
