Close Up - Vezzini & Chen Design







Close Up is available as pendant as table light.

The bone china pieces , inside the glass form, are slip casted and hand carved individually by Cristina Vezzini . 5 different types of Bone china pieces are available ( line- small line- dots -geometric- holes)

The glass Pieces are free blown by Sheng Tsang Chen so that each one is unique and bespoke.

On the glass, bubble-lens were created to distort and magnify the view of the Bone china inside. The Bone China appears distorted and magnify as looking insidea microscope. The connection between the material Bone China and the ‘immaterial’, light allows me to create a connection between the visible and invisible natural world.

Wood-Skin - MammaFotogramma









Wood-skin™ is a composite material, developed and patented by our design firm. This highly flexible surface – a sandwich wood and high performance mesh – was created by a process of excavation with a CNC cutting machine. By dividing the rigid plan of wood into small triangle, the material is freed - able to be shaped as the maker desires. This approach renders a wooden surface malleable, not just for decorative purposes, but also as solid and functional covering system for interiors and design.
This material hold an endless potential to absorb ideas and possibilities that reflect the dynamics of the space they occupy. Recognizing this potential allows to re-conceive and re-build spaces inspired by the malleability of this elegant, durable and strong material.
