Bethan Laura Wood Colourdisc Vase For Flowers For Cassina

British designer Bethan Laura Wood interprets the fusion of the centuries-old Murano glass production and contemporary design with a fruit bowl and a cylindrical vase for flowers, made by Venini.

The structure of these design vases is in painted brass (available in several pastel colors) to which glass decorations are attached using two brass pins.

A blown glass vase can be placed inside the structure to provide an additional splash of color and allow it to be filled with water for the flowers.

**Cassina in collaboration with Venini** The English designer Bethan Laura Wood interprets the synthesis between the centenary art of Murano glass and contemporary design with a fruit bowl and a cylindrical flower vase, produced by Venini. The vases’ structure is in lacquered brass (available in two finishes in light shades) to which decorative glass is fixed through two brass elements; the individual tiles are cast in metal moulds and coloured thanks to the overlapping of two dots of colour from the Venini Archive, in a special colour combination depending on the size. Inside the structure it is possible to insert an optional blown glass vase in amber or horizon blue to offer an additional pool of colour to the object while also allowing it to be more easily filled with water for flowers.
