Serena Confalonieri | Nebula

Serena Confalonieri continues her research in the field of self-production and craftsmanship. The subject, once again, is hand-blown borosilicate glass. After her Calypso floral glasses collection and Arabesque vases, the designer approaches a product category that hasn’t been explored by the world of design yet: water pipe or "bong".

The evolution of everyday lifestyle and the increasing use of cannabis, legalized in many parts of the world for both therapeutic and recreational purposes, open the door to products that draw creatives attention.

Nebula collection by Serena Confalonieri approaches this topic with the lightness and irony that distinguish the designer’s stylistic code, and the refinement of high-quality craftsmanship.

The outcome is a collection composed by three sinuous objects, inspired by the lightness of smoke spirals and characterized by a mix of colors that recalls 70’s psychedelia. The name, Nebula, also refers to the rarefied shades typical of nebulae, and evokes at the same time a fluid atmosphere, invaded by water vapor.
