The Morfa series by Lucas Recchia was inspired by the understanding of glass as a malleable material. The collection comprises five models, which vary in size and shape, numbered according to the sequence in which the designer created them.
The glass, the principal material used by Recchia in his creations, results from material transformations through time. Time turns rocks into sand, that became dunes that became glass. "Time changes the way we see the world; it bends a straight line into a curve, it changes us, and this morph stands for the way I see the world."
Morfa nº 02 has three sizes, and it is possible to customize the measurements within the following parameters: height up to 19.69’ (50 cm), width up to 43.3’ (110 cm), depth up to 25.6’ (65 cm). All pieces in this series are indicated for indoor use, such as side or coffee tables.
The following finishes options are available for Morfa nº 04: Transparent glass, Amber glass, Wine glass, Blue glass, Green glass, and Grey glass.
The processes of fusing glass and metal are handmade, allowing variations in color, texture, and slight changes in size and weight. The glass bubbles are part of the handmade production process; the bubbles’ quantity and size are uncontrollable variables.
