Utiles Serving Dish by Sam Baron
The Exceptional

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 contemporary design gallery Secondome.Infusing contemporary glass vases, jugs and fruit bowls with a quirky take on rational Neoclassical design, the imposing Utiles vessels, like this Serving Dish which is finished with an elegant à porter rectangular handle, are hand blown from sodium silicate glass.Each piece is a technical feat, a showcase of skill in both design and execution, and marks a fresh voice in traditional craft expression.
