HAUTE HYBRID

Aldo Cibic has redesigned the shape of light with the new Lou collection for Venini. Three handmade Venetian glass objects realised in milk-white opal glass, halfway between lamps and vases, explore the relationships between light and objects of desire. “The collection for Venini came from the idea of working on an ambiguous shape that is a combination of a vase and a lamp,” says Cibic. The three models focus on the element of hybrid identity: the lamp becomes a vase and vice versa. Lou reveals the intensity of the glass’s colours when the light is off, then restores the ethereal aspect of the raw material when the lamp is turned on. venini.com
