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 cast pewter sheets, modeled and welded by hand. It is handcrafted with brushing and polishing operations. The thirteen vases we are now presenting are presences of extraordinary communicative power, unmistakable examples of the sign 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, expressed through the material he works with unparalleled skill.
