These luminous glass vases designed by
the mid-century Finnish maestro, Tapio Wirkkala, employ the
traditional incalmo technique, which combines separate masses of
colored glass into one form. They were manufactured in Venini, Italy
of Murano glass in 1968. This series of five bottles employs the
"Incalmo" technique wherein two different types of glass,
worked separately, are fused together to obtain, within a single
object, separate areas differentiated by colors. This technique was
developed and perfected by the master glass-workers at Venini. The
set includes 5 different bottles: green/yellow/violet,
grey/amethyst, grey/aquamarine, straw yellow/apple green and straw
yellow and red. Each bottle can be purchased separately or all five
can be purchased as a set (From 1360 to $2480 individually; $8,240
for the set of 5 at Moss)

using only locally reclaimed trees of all varieties (fallen or cut
down due to infrastructure, re-landscaping, droughts, or stormy
weather). The trees are hand selected, gathered, turned and finished
by Loyal Loot Collective and local crafts people. The Log Bowls come
in a large variety of colors and are completed by hand with a
water-based, furniture grade finish.

bark is sharply contrasted by the sleek, modern and glossy interiors.
The materials are log cut offs, acrylic paint, water based gloss
finish sizes. The bowls vary between 2 and 10 inches in diameter and

Individual solar panels gather the suns
energy by day so these contemporary numbers can glow at night sans
electrical hook-up. AA battery and 6 modern LED bulbs included with
each number. There is very little maintenance required - just dust
