Description
Designed by Mario Cioni and curated by B. David Levine. The Metropolis Vase stands as the agship of the Tondo Doni collection, embodying a “cosmopolitan design” that bridges the gap between functional decor and sculptural art. Born from 15 kilograms of pure lead crystal, each vase entirely mouth-blown and hand-cut by master artisans in Tuscany. With its sharp, architectural lines and heavy, substantial feel, Metropolis serves as a metaphor for “absolute peace” through structured balance.Suspended between the avant-garde spirit of Cubism and the clean lines of Modernism, this limited-edition collection—restricted to just 500 numbered pieces—represents the pinnacle of Mario Cioni’s half-century legacy
