ABOUT PRODUCTID 5710
This large ceramic vase, designed by Studio O.P.I. for the Italian manufacturer Gabianelli in the 1970s, represents a compelling interplay of geometry and sculptural softness. Its form transitions from a square top to a cylindrical base, with rounded vertical edges tempering the minimalist structure. The surface is finished with a deep navy blue, high-gloss glaze—almost mirror-like—which amplifies the modernist character and reflects light in shifting highlights. Measuring 30 cm in height and 13 × 13 cm in width and depth, the vase stands out as a striking yet balanced object. The ceramic is expertly crafted, with no visible seams or imperfections, and the glaze is applied evenly. The condition is very good, with only minor traces of use consistent with its age. This vase speaks to the spirit of 1970s Italian modernism, when Op Art and formal experimentation permeated everyday design. Its reflective surface captures and transforms ambient light, creating kaleidoscopic visual effects. It is an object that could have belonged in an avant-garde architect’s studio or on the table of a collector fascinated by purity of line and bold color. The navy glaze, at times cool and at times nearly black, evokes the ambiance of an evening in Milan, where city lights shimmer across ceramic surfaces. In interior arrangements, this vase may be paired with minimalist 1970s furniture or contemporary pieces with simple forms, allowing its glossy finish to become a focal point. It would work well on an oak or marble console, alongside Op Art graphics or a single sculptural branch. It could be combined with
