Holi is a series of glass vases inspired by reflections of light. 
The light effects and the mixture of colours are the result of a dichromatic coating placed in cylinders at different angles (parallel to the ground and at an angle of 30 degrees). In Holi the colours are activated in contact with light, without this factor the vases seem to be transparent, cylindrical forms. 
The sun's rays create coloured shadows on the substrate, while the water poured into the vases shimmer. By changing the angle of light or point of view, we notice new colour combinations, which pass from basic to derivatives. 
Minimalistic in form, and at the same time magical in combination with light, vases create an abstract color landscape. We want to transfer the phenomena that can be seen in nature to household objects. Holi allow us to create a new, sensitive relationship between the user and the product.
