Osmosi Furniture is a series of unique glass-and-marble complement furniture pieces. This limited edition of sculptural vases is a continuation of the Osmosi Furniture edition. The project lies on the border between serial production and one-of-a-kind sculptures, all of them being resolutely functional.

By combining new technology with traditional craftsmanship in an entirely innovative way, a virtual fusion is made between marble and handblown glass. These materials are put together with a precision that is only possible thanks to high-level digital technology.

The creative journey begins with the delicate art of glass blowing. Subsequently, the handblown vase is brought into the digital realm through the precision of a 3D scanner. The glass contours are then carved into marble with the aid of CNC (Computer Numerical Control), yielding two distinct pieces that seamlessly complement one another.

They are separate pieces, but each has no meaning without the other — they fit together through gravity alone. Like Cinderella and the glass shoe, there is only one unique piece of glass that can fit into one unique piece of marble. The effect is a perfect symbiosis between materials.
