Gemello Vase in Matt Grey by Alessandro Mendini for Purho

About This Piece

Contemporary Design

Purho continues the search for products with complementary shapes with the pair of Gemello and Gemella vases designed by Alessandro Mendini. Created according to the same design concept, the vases play on contrasting volumes, seemingly more slender the first, softer the second winking at a man or woman silhouette. Made of Murano glass, in opaque or transparent finish, the vases can be customized by choosing from the twenty-one shades of the color chart.

About the Maker

Purho

Purho was founded by Andrea Dotto in 2012 with the ambition of merging the traditional craftsmanship of hand-blown Murano glass with the tastes and aesthetics of contemporary design.

Achieved in an artful symphony of color, iridescence, and transparency, Purho works with a carefully chosen selection of exemplary designers. The brand presents a collection of vases, lighting pieces, glasses, and bowls that celebrate a dance between the light that the translucence of glass allows and vibrant pops of color in hues of orange, blue, red and pink.

Based on the notion of creating ‘fairy-tale’ objects that are realized by master glaziers in Murano, Purho’s pieces may be functional but they could also easily be perceived as works of art. The vases by Karim Rashid, in particular, look like sculptures—shining feats of balance, color, and form. And while each piece created by Purho is a fine example of serious Italian craftsmanship, they also exude a lightness, sense of fun, and charm.
