Indicative of elegance and panache with a touch of vitality, golden hues have become the go-to color family for a wide variety of items, among which are the fashion-forward modern Italian furniture from mega designers like Marcel Wanders who created the Can Can pendant for Flos to famous Italian furniture manufacturers like Cappellini and Cattelan Italia. Richly saturated yellow-orange colors are paired with more muted tones in the black and grey family for an understated “pop” and a surprise element when a warm golden color is contrasted against its edgy counterpart.

The three resulting installations went above and beyond the called for striking metamorphosis of blown glass into modern art objects, presenting the world with inspiring realizations of “universe in a state of tension halfway between the rigid geometry of theory and the melting state of reality, halfway between an implosion and an explosion.” Fabio Novembre. Nendo’s explanation included a bold attempt to “turn convention on its head by making flowers blooming in vases into vases blooming from flowers to represent the flower bulbs that draw nutrients from plants through photosynthesisand store new life.” And finally, Mathieu Lehanneur’s creation was “halfway between quartz and gas, between mineral and animal, soft geometry is a stone which thinks and breathes.”
