This project born from the great talent of two young glass lovers and makers Maya Lapp and Denis Perera. A partnership in work and also in romance -after completing their studies they shaped their dream into a reality and opened a Laboratory where the Made in Italy school is the driver for their creations and work and Glass MaDe is subsequently born in Belluno, Dolomiti - Italy.
Watch these Italian artisans Create Bubble-Wrap inspired glass
FRAGILE is a design project that centres on process, materials, inspiration and experimentation.
Being inspired by a material that support's of their daily activities, they discover the bubble wrap as main element for experimenting with in a new process: the glass - in its liquid stage - is flexible, easy to shape, like a Bubble Wrap cover that is usually used to protect the fragility.
An irrepressible desire to play with this bubble canvas has driven Maya and Denis to conceive a design object that could work like a funny interpretation of this concept.
The final result is an incredible verisimilitude, wherever the art is placed it invites the viewer to touch and explore with their own hands, a concrete physical interaction that is unusual due to the fragile nature of the glass, a material which creates an detached contemplation.
FRAGILE is a limited edition of 200 numbered pieces available exclusively at www.studiomeddle.com
