Story
Murano glass and metal oxides
Giancarlo Bosio describes the idea behind the glass: "The glass spheres evoke the fascinating, age-old traditions of Murano, more specifically, that of working a glass element by including metal oxides that then spread throughout the vitreous surface on their own. Each object, therefore, is different."
