Harria, by Viviana Maggiolini and Giorgio Bonaguro, is a new collection of vases and bookends designed for Giorgetti Atmosphere, the collection of objects that complements Giorgetti’s furniture. The series is inspired by the works of Spanish sculptor Chillida, who studied architecture. The three single-flower vases can also become candleholders; thanks to their geometric shape, they can be placed side by side to build a small sculpture. With a simple gesture, the sculpture breaks down into three elements again. In addition to the single-flower vases, the Harria collection includes bookends, also in different marbles – Rosso Lepanto, Nero Marquina, and Calacatta.
