ARYA VASE

ARYA VASE

Design By Giulio Cappellini And Antonio Facco

A contemporary interpretation of classic Asian vases with their bold visual impact, the Arya Vase, by Giulio Cappellini and Antonio Facco, is made of paste-coloured glass that has been mouth-blown into a mould.

Available in three sizes, the Arya vases also reflect their eastern influences in the palette selected for the project: super glossy white, air force blue and chocolate, colours which are evocative of the beautiful hues of antique porcelain and typical glassware from the Orient.

The Arta vase is an eloquently strong presence that, besides glorifying flowers and greenery, can also be used to give character to a space, on its own or in a set with vases of other dimensions.

The fruit of the ancient art of master glassmakers, Arya vases are one-of-a-kind. Any irregularities in the colour or thickness of the glass, or any tiny air bubbles, are due to the artisanal workmanship, and likewise should be considered a valuable addition.

DESIGNERS

GIULIO CAPPELLINI & ANTONIO FACCO

Milan, Italy

Trained as an architect in Milan, Giulio Cappellini is an emblematic figure in the international design panorama. Animated by an indomitable spirit and the curiosity of someone who wants to renew himself continuously, Cappellini dedicates himself to design by offering his personal revision of contemporary design, both for the brand that bears his name, and as art director for other important brands in the field.

Through his most ambitious project, his company, Cappellini has become a bona fide trendsetter, such that he has become universally recognized as a talent scout for young professionals.

Numerous names have been launched through collaborations with his brand: Jasper Morrison, Marc Newson, Marcel Wanders, the Bouroullec and Nendo brothers, just to name a few.

His lectures at international design schools are also very popular, at institutions such as Istituto Marangoni, for which he is also Art Director, and other establishments around the world where he is invited as a visiting professor.

Cappellini’s work covers a vast array of furnishing elements. Among the most loved are the iconic Bong and Gong tables, the Break table series and the cabinet units in the Luxor range. Antonio Facco was born in Milan.

His numerous collaborations with architects and designers, during his academic studies at the IED in Milan, led him to found Dedra, in 2011: a multi-disciplinary channel for design and visual arts that fosters the dialogue between young creatives with diverse skills and different geographic locations (Milan, Italy – Urbino, Italy – Brighton, UK).

While still a student, his works were exhibited during the Fuorisalone in Milan; upon receiving his diploma in Interior Design, he began collaborating with Cappellini on displays and visual communication.

The most intimate core of his aesthetic vision lies in his curiosity and transversality, along with his desire to tell stories that move people to identify themselves in his creative choices.
