Story
Slightly varied pieces
The glass is blown without rotating it in an open mold. This glass-blowing technique makes it possible to obtain slightly varied pieces, so the lamps are serially produced yet each one keeps the unique characteristics of things made by hand.
A collection of different lamps
The series is made of constantly different lamps, serially produced but with the unique characteristics of things made by hand.
