Vase One

Pewter vase cm 33x18,5x27,5 h, limited edition of 33 pieces made on request. Vases obtained by melting sheets of pewter (alloy of tin, antimony and copper), modeled, soldered and polished by hand.

"Produced in limited numbers, these vases were modeled by recalling the metaphor of the tree. They are objects that present themselves as table architectures, which show the size and measure of the gesture and the hands that shaped them."
Mario Botta

Unmistakable examples of Mario Botta's style and poetics, these thirteen vases present themselves as presences of extraordinary communicative power in the contemporary home, according to an idea of ​​living linked to the quality of the objects that populate it, particularly dear to the Numa project.

«When I read these words that Mario Botta had written for the presentation of the vases he designed, I understood that I could find in him the harmony I was looking for to be able to create, with pewter, the works he had designed. The collection designed by Mario Botta is composed of 13 vases, 6 of which are now being produced by Numa in a limited edition of 33 pieces. Each vase is obtained from sheets of pewter melted, shaped and welded by hand. It is finished by hand with brushing and polishing operations. The thirteen vases that we are now presenting are presences of extraordinary communicative force, unmistakable examples of Mario Botta's sign and poetics; they are the representation of the work of Alfredo Marinoni, a true Master in pewter processing, with whom I have shared the entire Numa journey expressed with the material he works with unparalleled mastery. Tredicivasi is the increasingly fascinating continuation of the Numa journey and project».

Tredicivasi is a collection of large pewter vases, designed by Mario Botta with multiple arms as a “metaphor of the tree”. Thirteen table architectures whose geometries are very well expressed by pewter, an ancient material of great plastic strength. A material that Numa has brought back to the contemporary in recent years by entrusting its manufacture to Alfredo Marinoni, a master in the processing of pewter and which for these vases is cast in sheets and then finished by hand.
