Percezione

The excellence of the material, man's knowledge of processing techniques and the desire to recover the traditions of the past to create contemporary scenarios. The absoluteness of crystal, the perfection of the gesture, the consistency of the sign, the unpredictability of the light. In other words, the subjectivity of perception. The collection of crystal glasses by antoniolupi is called Percezione. Precious objects with timeless elegance that arise from craftsmanship to convey a sophisticated image and always offer different perspectives based on the point of view. Two dimensions with a formal coherence that broadens the horizons of an object incorporating it in a research context and in the definition of a style. A coordinated thought, that of gumdesign and antoniolupi, which gave life to Tralerighe and which today finds in these accessories a further piece to complete an integrated and identifiable project.

Sinks, mirrors, wallpapers, carpets, now also objects, characterized by rigorous but not rarefied geometries and an expressive force that is expressed through a simple, linear, universal graphic line. Two glasses of different heights, dishwasher safe and usable in the bathroom as a toothbrush holder but also in the kitchen or living room. The perpendicular sign and the sophisticated manual engraving of the crystal, allows for a difference in the depth of the trace which will be decisive in the perception of the volume. Trace generated by the hand of man, by his knowledge of the material and his behavior, by the unique relationship with the earth that becomes an instrument at the service of the project. Like light, which, based on the different position of the glass, multiplies its image, determining a final status in constant evolution.

Typical of an artisanal business, our engraved glasses are handcrafted by master glassmakers. The result of unique and exclusive products come only from the talent and imagination of its master craftsmen. Hand engraving on crystal is an art that requires competence, skill, creativity, aesthetic taste and passion to create original and captivating objects. The substantial difference is that crystal contains lead oxide.

Formed by a mixture of chemicals melted at high temperatures, thanks to this lead content, crystal is brighter because it has greater refraction and is more sonorous than glass. In fact, the characteristics of crystal are brightness,

transparency, elasticity and sound. Crystal is more ductile and elastic and can bear deep engraving; glass can only be scratched on the surface. All glasses are dishwasher safe.
