Glass Coral Center Piece
Glass Coral Center Piece 2024
Hand-blown glass sculpture by Simone Crestani.
This exquisite glass centerpiece captures the delicate and intricate beauty of coral formations, bringing the essence of marine life into any space. Inspired by the fascinating world beneath the waves, each branch and curve of this glass coral is crafted to emulate the unique, asymmetrical patterns found in nature. Just as in the ocean, where each coral species contributes its distinctive character to a harmonious whole, this piece reflects the individuality of each element, coming together in a stunningly cohesive design.
“I find it extraordinary how each coral manages to develop a unique branching and a different aesthetic. Each species has its own characteristics and although different, corals work together to create majestic aquatic forests. They thus become real colonies and societies of different elements which are at the same time closely linked. In my “glass corals” I try to capture the perfect and immobile asymmetry of their complex structure, thus celebrating the richness of marine biodiversity.”
