The Scarabea vase collection draws inspiration from the iridescent reflections of the scarab beetle. Each piece is individually hand-blown from double-walled glass, combining multiple colours that softly blend into one another. During the blowing process, exposure to flame activates metallic compounds in the molten glass, creating delicate colour gradients through a natural chemical reaction. The resulting hues and their distribution are unique to each piece.
Once cooled, the hollow interior is hermetically filled with a silver solution, introducing a subtle inner glow. Selected pieces are then sandblasted, softening the reflections and lending them a misty, mysterious quality. The interplay of translucent colour, inner silvering and frosted surfaces creates a distinctive optical character that could not be achieved with any other material.
