BLACK AND WHITE WHITE MACCHIA SU MACCHIA CANDLE HOLDER

Craftmanship

The duo of designers behind Stories of Italy, Matilde Antonacci and Dario Buratto, revisit artisanal techniques from Venice's unique heritage to create singularly contemporary decorative objects. For diptyque, they have developed an exclusive collection of goblets and vases that reinterpret an ancient glassblowing technique known as Macchia su Macchia ("layer by layer"). The opaque and the transparent merge into the most colorful patterns created by the successive application of pigments and shards of colored glass. This technique also evokes the marble and mosaic styles so in vogue in antique Italy.
