- Crystal glass and natural iron metal
- Inspired by venetian lampare lanterns, Marco Parmeggiani’s vases are unique. Each piece is created using a double glass-blowing technique, where multiple artisans work in tandem. Blown into a bronze parallelepiped cage, each combines glass with bronze or iron, requiring a meticulous cooling process over four days to prevent cracks.
The labyrinth motif is central to this story, bringing Venice close to Shanghai in the shared cultural dialogue so dear to the brand's founders. In Chinese tradition, the migong, or perplexing palace, conveys the awe and mystery of spatial complexity, much like the imperial gardens of the Forbidden City. Similarly, the water labyrinth that is the city of Venice evokes a sense of wonder and discovery through its winding paths. This connection between East and West underscores ANEST COLLECTIVE’s philosophy of bridging cultural identities through design.

In the heart of the furnace, molten glass glows as it is shaped by Murano’s master artisans. The heat, fire, and rhythmic dance-like movements of the glassblowers create an atmosphere of intense focus. These vases, closely tied to ANEST’s Act I collection, reflect the forms, textures, and colors of the garments in ACT I, including hues of purple, blue, and green. Inspired by Prometheus and its relationship to fire, Parmeggiani’s work reveals the alchemical possibilities of traditional craftsmanship pushed to its limits.
