Sculptural Tableware
2015
The Blowing Man tells the story of a glass blowing man, which is told by the object itself. It is not a project only related to the concept of aesthetics and functionality, but a creative and didactic interpretation: “A eulogy to the art of blowing glass.”
By putting ‘art pieces’ on the table with a theatrical story, Antonio wanted to put the Man, the Creative and the “Creator” at the centre of our attention.
“With The Blowing Man collection, I wanted to create an object as a pretext to tell a story and teach something! Whilst looking at the glass vase we can learn how the vase was “magically” created... this is an important stimulus to people’s fantasy and dreams! Design for me is about sharing emotions and is an occasion to dream!”
