Casarialto Atelier

Renowned in the field of glass mosaic, Nardin usually creates decorative pieces rather than functional objects of decor: this is where the creative mind of Catherine Urban meets the skillful hands of a master artisan, giving shape to unique and versatile oeuvres that merge aesthetic and functionality, and tradition with innovation.

This set of trays embodies the perfect combination of Eastern minimalism and ultra light design, with a meticulous milling enhancing the tropic-inspired details skillfully cut by Giovanni, the artisan of Venetian glass mirrors. These tropical-themed motifs do not usually belong to the Venetian tradition, they are a modern and exotic accent introduced by Catherine to create a harmonious blend of traditions and inspirations.

Cotisso, is a Murano glass block, pure and monochromatic, obtained by breaking the crucible at the end of the process of manufacturing the glass of a particular colour. The blocks obtained through this process are then melted again in the furnace, or used in the realisation of artworks, both aesthetic and decorative.

Michela Nardin, a recognized artist in the field of mosaic glass and Catherine Urban, founder of Casarialto, are collaborating to create a collection of mosaic stools. For this project the 80’s video game “Space Invaders” has been reinterpreted with mosaic tiles.
