VASE: T
VASE: T
Designed By Marie C Dorner
The T vase is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship made from glass which is first blown, then scuffed. One of the branches of the ‘T’ takes the vase, with the others supporting stems or branches.
Vases may be interlocked to create a compact group, made yet more interesting by the fact that is available in 3 soft, harmonious and easily associable colourways.
These vases required two years of development since their original shape is achieved thanks to a complex procedure: The glass is blown onto a platform whilst the mould is rotated. This technique requires great dexterity and must be done very rapidly. In the case of the SMALL VERSION, once a piece has cooled, it is scuffed by hand to obtain a cloudy effect. Each piece is unique and all vases are signed by the designer.
DESIGNER
MARIE C DORNER
Paris, Tokyo, London : soujourns abroad which kick-started the career of Marie-Christine Dorner.
Designer, interior architect and graduate of the école Camondo, Paris, she spent a year in Tokyo designing her first collection of furniture for Idée, before opening her first office in Paris.
The sheer diversity of her projets is astonishing : amongst the best-known, the La Villa at St Germain des Prés, the restaurant de la Comédie Française, the presidential grandstand (tribune présidentielle du 14 juillet) at the top of the Champs Elysées, street furniture for the city of Nîmes, designs for le Mobilier National.
A Londoner for more than 10 years, she designs and fits out ambassadorial residences for the French Ministère des Affaires Etrangères, undertakes special projects for private clients, and designs for manufacturers as diverse as Ligne Roset, Montis, Bernardaud and Baccarat.
Her collection 'Une Forme, One Shape', exhibited in 2004 in Paris, Tokyo and Kyoto, is just one demonstration of her taste for perfection. The best artisans in France and Japan made up her jewellery, objects and furniture in wood, gold, porcelain, bamboo, ceramic and composite materials. Marie-Christine Dorner has lectured in both London and France, and was awarded the Grand Prix du Design de la ville de Paris in 1995.
