MELT
by NENDO
Melt embodies the fluidity of glass in its most organic form. Inspired by a serendipitous observation in a Venetian workshop, where molten glass bent like soft dough, nendo collaborated with WonderGlass to harness gravity in shaping the material. Large slabs of hot glass are carefully draped over suspended steel frames, allowing the material to naturally sag and stretch into graceful, arching forms. This technique captures the essence of transformation, where the rigidity of glass gives way to a soft, flowing elegance.
