    An evocative objects of utility and sculpture, this Italian neodymium glass set challenges the conventions of domestic design. Its form is elemental — a cylindrical volume resting on a base of hand-sculpted organic reliefs that seem to emerge from geological processes rather than human hands.

    Each circular formation at the base has been individually shaped by artisans, one by one, making every piece subtly distinct. These tactile irregularities are not decorative flourishes but deliberate gestures: they draw the hand, engage the senses, and emphasize the singularity of the object.

    Composed in neodymium glass, the surface interacts with its surroundings in a continuous chromatic dialogue. Under warm daylight, it reveals soft lilac and blush undertones; under cooler or artificial light, the same surface takes on moody shades of smoky blue. This quiet transformation turns the object into a shifting, luminous presence — never static, always becoming.

    Whether used as a bottle cooler or an ice bucket, its presence extends beyond function. The combination of weight, translucency, and sculptural foundation places it within the language of Organic Brutalism — a balance between mass and sensitivity, material rigor and sensual nuance.
