Folpo, is a dialect word that has by its nature a form that recalls the traditional venetian chandelier. There is a linguistic link between the octopus and practice of Murano glassmaking: glass blowers usually call the badly made objects “Folpo”. Luminescent and floating sculpture in pink opaline and opaque red glass. The work is composed of eight hand blown glass elements on metal structure assembled to the Venetian chandelier tradition. This design is a lighting fixtures made in the form of octopus and squid. With its waving arms, opalescent pink color and staring eyes, the octopus evokes the mysterious depths of there ocean. Maria Grazia Rosin (Italian Born 1958) was born and raised in Venice and trained as a painter , she has applied her inventiveness and humor to one of the most tradition-bound forms in Venetian glass : the chandelier. Her work is in the permanent collection of the Corning Museum of Glass, New York; Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh; Museum Kunst, Düsseldorf; and Murano Museum of Glass.

« Folpo », est un clin d’oeil lexical de l’artiste pour évoquer à la fois la forme si particulière de son objet et le lien étroit qu’elle entretient avec les techniques traditionnelles des maîtres verriers vénitiens : les souffleurs de verre appellent généralement "Folpo" les objets mal faits. Sculpture luminescente flottante en verre opalin rose et rouge opaque, cette pieuvre ou calmar en verre soufflé à la bouche est assemblée selon la tradition des lustres vénitiens. Le choix des sujets de Maria Grazia Rosin reflète la tendance actuelle à l'excentricité et au décalage dans l'aménagement de la maison, ainsi que l'intégration du fait main dans le design contemporain. Avec ses bras ondulants, sa couleur rose opalescente et ses yeux fixes, la pieuvre évoque les profondeurs mystérieuses de l'océan. Ce thème est parfait pour Venise, une ville qui a toujours été associée à la mer. L'une des tentacules de la grande pieuvre fait office de tige verticale du luminaire, tandis que les autres bras de la créature prennent la forme des bras traditionnels du lustre. Les yeux sont éclairés par des leds, et le verre rose est animé d'éclats lumineux. Ici, l’artiste qui expose dans les musées du monde entier, a réalisé cette oeuvre en 8 exemplaires, et 2 tirages d’artiste. Acquise à Art Basel pour rejoindre les collections sur le thème de la mer, cher à Régis Mathieu.

18th Century Crystal

Before Lead crystal was discovered, the glass was mixed with Manganese, Tungstene or other materials. These materials used to give a smoky, violet or yellow tint to the glass. Our 18th Century Crystal recreates this effect, making it perfect for pieces that need to look antique or fit in a collection.
