'Lipstick' vase, steel

Designed by Stories of Italy for Italian brand Visionnaire, 'Lipstick' is an exciting exploration of texture, material and light. Entirely handcrafted, the vase presents an interior core coated in a layer of Murano crystal, to which texture is applied while still hot. On the vessel's exterior — also Murano glass — a series of vertically aligned rhomboids surround the outer layer, which is carved into the smooth interior — the exposed part of which is sandblasted.
