luca nichetto presents otto, a limited edition collection of vases which are shaped
in the number '8'. the skill of the glassblower lies in his ability to shape glass with
simple and natural gestures. starting with the archetypal form of the cylindrical vase,
these vessels are produced by first obtaining a truncated conical form followed
by a clean cut at the top level. this technique showcases the object's eight layers
of glass, revealing the diverse chromatic tones of its interior. the vases will be
sold exclusively in venini stores.
