Kicking off with a persona favourite – a stunning glass collection developed without the aid of today’s digital tools. Taking Fabrica designers’ hand drawings, artisan glass blower Massimo Lunardon, interpreted the sketches and brought them to life without following any specific dimensions. This is a limited edition collection of 14 works by designers such as Sam Baron and Studio Formafantasma, and Fabrica designers Dean Brown, Charlotte JuillardGiorgia ZanellatoRyu Yamamoto and Valetina Carretta.
