Crafted from hand-blown Venetian crystal with precious platinum leaf inserts, Fenice is limited to just 98 pieces, 49 for each of the two variants: a larger grey one and a smaller white one, ideally representing a male and a female specimen. The cylindrical brushed nickel pedestal is a common element to both, and an absolute innovation compared to Ercole Barovier’s original design. This material contrast emphasizes the sculptural nature of the piece. Originally, Fenice was known as “Piccione Primavera” and was produced in limited numbers. The sculpture, designed in the 1930s, depicted an imaginary bird with an elegant and eclectic stance. Almost a century later, Barovier&Toso revisited this iconic design, giving it a more pronounced contemporary form, expressing strength and beauty.
Fenice is available at our showrooms in Milan, Venice and at Palazzo Barovier&Toso.
