Seilinee

An edition of glass vases, Seilinee evolved as a playful game with innovative outcomes. Working with Murano-based artisanal experts and glass blowers, the intricate process needed them to break free from tradition as the shapes were conceived through unique, modular wooden molds. Handmade by a specialist carpenter, the unfamiliar molds led to interesting results which make up the collection displayed today. Finding joy through such compositional possibilities, the duo emphasises the importance of fostering ethical collaborations to ensure growth for all while exchanging a wealth of knowledge and expertise.
