About This Piece

Exceptional Contemporary Design

Rationality faces off with the baroque: This was the intention behind the double glass collection Utiles and Futiles created in 2009 by multitalented designer Sam Baron for Rome-based gallery Secondome.
These oversized statement vessels, like this charming Vase are hand-blown from sodium silicate glass embellished with lyrical-yet-functional scrolling handles. Each piece is a technical feat--a showcase of both design and execution--and marks a fresh approach to traditional craft expression.
