A museum-quality vessel designed by the notable Italian designer Luca Bojola in the mid-1980s, showcasing the experimental fusion of materials characteristic of the Postmodern era.
The elegant, large black Murano glass bowl—originally designed for the historic interior design company Arteluce—is transformed into a sculpture by its unique metalwork. The decorative elements are t  asymmetrical application of textured copper, brass, and silver placed on one side of the upper vessel. This intentional imbalance highlights the artistic, anti-traditional approach of Bojola's design.
 
Designer Provenance:
 
Luca Bojola's journey through Italian design is noteworthy. His foundational work began in 1975 under the guidance of Murano glass master Carlo Moretti.  After serving as an artistic director in the U.S., he founded his own design studio in Florence in 1983. Designs for partners like Arteluce demonstrate his successful transition from artisan glass to broader, inter-disciplinary luxury object creation.
