Shape Shift: New Designs by Yali Glass in Venice

Photography via Yali Glass

We’ve been following the work of Venetian design studio YALI for a few years now: Founded in 2008 by Marie-Rose Kahane, YALI produces an ever-growing collection of artfully refined glassware, all handcrafted by the maestros of Murano, Venice, using techniques that date back to the 13th century. Their latest project is the inaugural installation of FREE, an immersive storefront space in the heart of Venice, featuring new designs in glass, metal, and wood by YALI, all within a lush and otherworldly environment. Take a look.

The FREE exhibition space, in a storefront on a small street in the center of Venice, in collaboration with architecture and design firm Charlap Hyman & Herrero.

The chairs, tables, vase, and lamp are by YALI.

The plastic shell lamp is a collaboration between CHH and Green River Project.
