ABOUT THE COLLECTION
The name Balancing Vases refers to the balance that the discus appears to seek, including its relation to the other vase. It is also a balancing act between function and pure object, playful and static, extrovert and introvert, rugged masculine and elegant feminine.
Founded in 1994, Marni is recognized as the most artistic, colour-savvy, life embracing, off-beat brand in the luxury segment. Renowned for its subversive collections, Marni has consistently challenged the traditional codes of fashion and the seriousness of dressing up, celebrating individuality through its distinctive approach to materials and colours, combined with a unique taste for prints and shapes. Marni’s quirky elegance is a range of possibilities, a lifestyle with an avant-garde spirit that holds a constant dialogue with the world of art, finding ultimate expression in special collaborations and capsule collections.
Featured collection
Serax and Marni created an elegant, 120-piece porcelain tableware set, which celebrates the Italian fashion house’s artistic vision. Marni’s Creative Director Francesco Risso designed the flower motif, which was inspired by nature. Decals are used to apply the pattern to the fine bone china, after which it is glazed, to make it more wear resistant. The slightly asymmetrical shapes of the plates, bowls, cups, saucers, and tea pots only serve to accentuate the hand-finished porcelain’s quality.
