Physalis is inspired by the delicate process harvesting fresh flowers for the purpose of drying. The designer was particularly interested in the Physalis variety of flowering plants, of which stand out for their characteristic lantern shape - an ephemeral organic architecture consisting of a very light and impalpable envelope.
Physalis is blown by WonderGlass’ master glassmakers using Pulegoso glass on Murano. Like the flower with its characteristically desaturated palette, the pieces range from warmer pink tones to semi-transparent whites. The glass replica is a composed of a pale pink glass filtered by the texture of the bubbles enclosed in it. The glass externally is almost imperceptible, delicate and shiny, consisting of three fruits hanging sweetly on a branched metallic stem, lit up with impalpable light, as if to offer themselves to be collected.
