The collection designed by Mario Botta consists of 13 vases, 6 of which are now being produced by Numa in a limited edition of 33 pieces. Each vase is obtained from pewter sheets that are cast, modeled, and welded by hand. It is finished artisanally with brushing and polishing operations. The thirteen vases we present now are presences of extraordinary communicative power, unmistakable examples of the mark and poetics of Mario Botta; they are the representation of the work of Alfredo Marinoni, a true Master in pewter craftsmanship, with whom I shared the entire Numa journey declined with the material he works with unparalleled mastery.
