This exceptional creation is composed of four solid glass cubic modules fused together, characterized by the iconic "sommerso" technique with controlled inclusions of air bubbles (pulegoso) and chromatic nuances that alternate between clear crystal and warm amber/tortoiseshell tones.

the rigorous geometry of the block contrasts beautifully with the organic fluidity of the glass captured within, creating spectacular plays of light and reflections depending on the display.

a versatile piece with three uses:

originally designed as a wall lamp (sconce), it retains the internal provision for housing light fixtures.

thanks to its heavy weight and extraordinary visual impact, it is now perfect as a decorative tabletop sculpture or an exclusive paperweight of high-quality murano craftsmanship.

a work of glass art that perfectly embodies the geometric boldness and technical mastery of italian space age design. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
