Licorice is a series of vases that plays on the parallels between the industrial process of caramel production and the manual techniques of glass shaping. The creation of Licorice vases requires the involvement of at least four artisans, whose synchronized movements orchestrate a cyclical dance. The pieces, blown into a mold made
of metal rods, first take on a regular cylindrical shape before undergoing various
manual transformation processes — pinching, twisting, and cutting — allowing for a
wide variety of forms and sizes.
The diversity of silhouettes, combining opaque black glass with vibrant interior hues, evokes an assortment of licorice candies. These limited editions are as exceptional as they are unique, due to the rarity of black glass and the technical complexity of assembling the different tones.
