Ваза Poltrona Frau GLI OGGETTI - RIPS

A vase or a sculpture? Rips, by Carina Seth Andersson, fulfils both definitions: a vase for plants, flowers and branches whose strong formal and material presence also enables it to go it alone as a purely decorative element.‎
A symmetrical, simple, sculpted form with the richness and thickness of the finest quality glass, mouth-blown by Venetian master craftsmen.‎ An object with a minimalist design that conveys Poltrona Frau’s love for the beautiful.‎

When used as a flower vase Rips merges harmoniously with its contents, highlighting their shapes and colours.‎ The outer surface is decorated with a motif of diagonal lines in relief that create an optical effect which is emphasised by the water and branches in the vase.‎
The oblique lines make the surface three dimensional and underline the beauty of the blown glass in an original way, as if they were lines of stitching on leather.‎ The relief has two different directions, which follow the three main sections of the object, highlighting the vase’s variations in volume.‎

The Rips vases come in two sizes: large, with diameter of 24 cm and height of 33 cm, and small, with diameter of 20 cm and height of 27 cm.‎ Both are coloured grey.‎ A pale hue for a gentle, understated product that adds a touch of delicate and refined elegance to all types of decor without ever imposing.‎ The Poltrona Frau logo and the designer’s signature are inscribed on the bottom of vase.‎
