VISSIO is a platform for unlimited experimentation. VISSIO is a collaboration between designers, artists, and architects with Nouvel artisans to realize unique and limited-edition pieces that shatter boundaries between art and design. VISSIO pieces reinterpret glass to challenge and ignite the relationship between concept, form and utility – beautifully.

NOUVEL

Nouvel is a pioneer in the design and production of blown glass with over 25 years of experience. Working across a wide variety of genres and industries Nouvel collaborates with international brands on the development of glass projects from design and engineering to production of the highest standard. As the innovation arm of Pavisa Group, Nouvel has unrivalled facilities and expertise allowing it to realize even the most complex and challenging endeavours. 

2 BARS 1 GLASS

2B1G (2 Bars one Glass) represents an evolution of the Precarious series which conceptually hinges on the beauty and anxiety provoked by glass balancing precipitously on rectilinear metallic bases. Through formal interplay of rigidity with elevated fragility, the piece highlights the materials’ physical properties. In this new iteration of the series, the team has reimagined the scale of Precarius with glass hugging steel-plate bases for table-top presentation.

APRICOT DREAM

The new works in the Apricot Dream series can be thought of as formal compositions of reflection and refraction based around a celebration of juxtaposition of surfaces. These pieces emphasize the beauty of the materials through geometric arrangements. While functional as vessels, it’s the interplay of light—illuminating creamy matte apricot onyx, bouncing off polished stone and glinting off the apricot glass that is responsible for the pieces’ dreamy aura.

BURNOUT

Burnout sculptural vessels by Héctor Esrawe, Emiliano Godoy, and Brian Thoreen, are a formal study of entropy as expressed through sequential degradation of a wood mold by the glass blowing process. Artisans repeatedly blow molten glass into a plywood mold allowing it to ignite with each form they create. The change in shape that results from burning the mold leaves a unique pattern on each hand-blown piece.
