Fished in Venice” is a limited edition designer object created to relish Venice in small sips.
Its fish-like shape is reminiscent of the unmistakeable outline of the lagoon City, in addition to the first obvious correlation with the creatures of its depths; the crystal from which it is made recalls the transparency of the water.
The object is modular, two glasses in one: the removable small glass serves to limit the quantity of liqueur that may be contained. The idea behind this was to combine aesthetics and function, along with a symbolic “plus”: by metaphorical implication, an intimate, exclusive relationship with the city that entails drinking directly from the fish’s mouth. The eye of the fish-glass bears the punch-mark of one of the premises that have become symbolic places par excellence of Venice – the historical Caffè Florian. To give back to drinking both the old value of refined ritual and a playful note that reflects a modern spirit.
“Fished in Venice” is dedicated to those who wish to have the pleasure of taking in Venice bit by bit, in rare form.
