Danese Milano - Enzo Mari - ''Camicia'' - Vase - Stainless steel, Pyrex glass
This elegant ''Camicia'' vase was designed by Enzo Mari in 1961 for Danese Milano.
''Camicia'' will easily complement any contemporary decor with its clean, geometric style. The cylindrical body widens at the mouth to best house minimalist bundles of flowers, and is encased in a bottomless stainless steel cylinder featuring two circular openings that reveal the content inside the glass recipient. The metal cylinder holds up the glass vase and enables it to be removed easily for cleaning. The cutted out parts allow you to see flowers, stems and leaves from the inside that create a new shape every time when looking at the vase. Due to these features ''Camicia'' is a true expression of form and function which makes the object a typical Mari piece. ''Camicia'' is one of the most iconic pieces which Mari designed in the 1960s.
This ''Camicia'' vase is in perfect condition and was not used before. Completely original with packaging.
