Vortex Murano Glass Sculpture: Movement Suspended in Transparent Glass
What would movement look like if it could be held still?
Vortex explores that idea through a sculptural composition of transparent Murano glass, delicate blue spirals and bubbles suspended within the material.
Part of the Chroma Collection, presented at Maison & Objet in Paris in January 2025, Vortex transforms the fluid nature of molten glass into an artwork with remarkable depth and visual movement.
A Vortex Captured in Glass
The defining feature of Vortex is its intricate internal composition.
Light-blue spirals move through the transparent glass, creating the impression of currents travelling within a solid object.
Delicate bubbles add another dimension, interrupting the transparency with small points of visual interest.
The surrounding clear glass magnifies and refracts these details, revealing different relationships between colour, light and form as your viewpoint changes.
The result is an artwork that feels unexpectedly dynamic despite its solid, sculptural presence.
The Beauty of Depth and Transparency
Vortex doesn't rely on a highly decorative exterior to capture attention.
Much of its visual character comes from what happens inside the glass.
The transparent material creates a sense of depth, allowing the blue spirals and suspended bubbles to become the focus.
Placed near natural light, the sculpture reveals subtle changes in colour and reflection throughout the day.
Directional lighting can emphasize its internal composition, creating a particularly dramatic effect in the evening.
A Contemporary Artwork with a Strong Presence
Measuring approximately 32 cm high, 22 cm wide and 8 cm deep, Vortex has a substantial, monolithic character.
Its proportions make it suitable for a console, pedestal, sideboard or dedicated display area.
The combination of transparent glass and soft blue accents works beautifully with contemporary furniture, natural stone and restrained interior palettes.
It can also provide a compelling contrast within warmer spaces, introducing a cool, luminous focal point.
Part of the Chroma Collection
Vortex belongs to a collection exploring colour, transparency and sculptural expression through Murano glass.
Its contemporary character makes it particularly appealing to collectors who appreciate the artistic possibilities of glass beyond conventional decorative objects.
Every piece is individually handcrafted in Murano, giving the internal composition its own subtle variations.
Bring Movement into Your Space
Vortex invites you to look beyond the surface.
Its beauty emerges through changing perspectives, revealing new details in the relationship between blue spirals, bubbles and transparent glass.
Choose Vortex to introduce an artwork that captures the energy of movement within the stillness of Murano glass.
