Salviati Profili: Murano Glass Architectural Vases
Salviati Profili Vases: geometry that changes with the gaze
Profili is a collection of vases designed by Anna Gili in 1995 for Salviati, a historic Murano glassworks active since 1859. Each piece plays with concavity and convexity: a soft base that narrows and then reopens, so the silhouette changes depending on the angle.
Why they are different
- Cased glass: one color wraps around another, for a fuller and deeper hue.
- Mold-blown: the profile is controlled with a wooden mold, then hand-finished for an impeccable shine.
- Modularity: different heights and proportions to create groups, centerpieces, or installations.
Three interpretations, one DNA
Daisy is compact and classic, Lily is more open with a generous mouth, Sword Lily is slender and vertical. Choose a single icon or combine multiple shapes for an architectural effect.
Color as a signature
The Profili palette ranges from Cornflower and Peacock Green to Burnt Earth and Shell Pink. Each vase brings a pure, intense color into the home, designed to last over time.
Tip: mix two heights and two shades to give visual rhythm to shelves, sideboards, and tables.
