Dall’osservazione dei metodi antichi di lavorazione del marmo nasce Introverso 2, il vaso dalla doppia anima realizzato da Paolo Ulian e Moreno Ratti.

«Un tempo, quando ancora la tecnologia non la faceva da padrone, per la realizzazione di un foro di un lavabo dal pieno, veniva utilizzato un disco diamantato per realizzare delle incisioni che l’uomo, con un martello, spaccava e rifiniva. Il concetto è quello della sbozzatura tuttora utilizzata per scoprire una forma intrinseca, già contenuta nel materiale stesso».

È un vaso dalla doppia anima, che racchiude nella sua stessa materia un altro vaso di forma diversa. Si può decidere di conservare la forma originale del primo vaso oppure di modificarla facendo emergere il secondo servendosi di un martello per spezzare le sottili lamelle di marmo.

It is a Vase with a dual personality, which contains in its interior another silhouette of different shape.You may decide to keep the original shape of the first Vase to edit or bringing out the second using a hammer to break the slats of marble.
