Cloudy Butterflies 2019-2020
Cloudy Butterflies 2019-2020

Designers: VA Studio, Vista Alegre Portugal, Ílhavo, Portugal and Claudia Schiffer, Germany
Manufacturers: Vista Alegre Portugal, Ílhavo, Portugal


Conceived in collaboration with Claudia Schiffer, these three vases are produced using the complex incalmo technique, frequently used in the Middle Ages. 

Continuing to demonstrate the great mastery of the brand’s master glassmakers, these pieces, in addition to being blown and handled without a mold, present the added difficulty of hot-melting the various colors horizontally without mixing them. Única increasingly establishes itself as a collection that is contemporary, cosmopolitan, and unrepeatable.
