The Collaboration between Casarialto and Summerill&Bishop

Casarialto and Summerill & Bishop have joined forces to create a fascinating collection of handmade borosilicate objects. The meeting between the two brands dates back to 2021, when they took the first steps together to collaborate on a commercial level. The naturalness with which the relationship has continued over the years, combined with the values ​​of excellence and authenticity of the two brands, today leads to the launch of this limited edition collection designed by Summerill & Bishop and produced by Casarialto.

Lotus and Iris Collection by Casarialto and Summerill & Bishop

Created specifically for the British brand, the collection consists of two candle holders inspired by the ethereal beauty of nature, depicted in the shapes of iris and lotus flowers. Combining expertise and refined aesthetics, this collection aims to celebrate the timeless charm of nature, evoking a sense of enchantment through the delicate petals of the iris and serenity thanks to the design of the lotus flower. The pieces, in fact, meticulously handcrafted using lampworking and glass blowing, are an expression of the mastery and refinement of Italian artisanal workmanship, of which Casarialto is a spokesperson. The master craftsmen worked borosilicate glass, a transparent and luminous material, very light but incredibly resistant, to give life to these unique creations. The collection is the result of countless tests necessary to achieve the desired result. A fascinating and delicate phase in which the material is shaped by human skill and the creations only idealized on the sketches finally take shape. A journey in which Casarialto is always at the artisan's side.

Casarialto and Summerill&Bishop present Ali in Volo, the new co-branding line with a Bowl, a cake stand and a set of handmade glass napkin holders.

After the first collaboration started in 2023 with the creation of the Iris and Lotus candelabras, Casarialto and Summerill&Bishop join forces again to launch a new poetic and timeless collection, in which tradition and innovation coexist and give each other mutual value. The protagonist of Ali in Volo is the Dragonfly, venerated in Japan and considered a true example of balance. Furthermore, this insect is the bearer of an important lesson for everyday life: the need to live each day to the fullest. Like the dragonfly, which from a nymph in the water transforms by developing wings that will take it on infinite journeys, so too should each of us get out of our comfort zone and explore new worlds. At the same time, in a chaotic and fast-paced world, it is important to seek tranquility in our daily lives and in our spaces, trying to recreate an oasis of peace inside our homes.

In this spirit, Ali in Volo by Casarialto x Summerill&Bishop was born. Meticulously crafted pieces that showcase the mastery and elegance of Italian craftsmanship. Born from an idea by Summerill&Bishop and brought to life by Catherine Urban, founder and artistic director of the brand, Ali in Volo is a hymn to refinement and delicacy. Colored glass dragonflies fly in perfect balance, landing on napkin rings, on the edges of bowls and stands, in a harmonious fusion of art and craftsmanship. Each product is a unique piece, the result of freehand creation by Venetian artisans, and is entirely made in Italy. The collection consists of three new products. Set of 6 napkin rings in transparent glass, with colored dragonfly applied on the surface in 3 colors: deep blue, burgundy and pink, green and sorbet yellow. Clear glass bowl, with colored dragonfly applied on the surface in 3 colors: deep blue, burgundy and pink, green and sorbet yellow. Clear glass stand, with three colored dragonflies applied on the surface in 3 colors: deep blue, burgundy and pink, green and sorbet yellow.
