Every work by Tobia Scarpa and Ludovica Diaz De Santillana evokes a canoe. Clad in thin glass in tones of Crystal, Aquamarine and shaded pink Alexandrite. Its translucent appearance is the result of the skill and hard work of the master glassblowers, who skilfully grind the glass to lend it a unique slightly slubbed texture.
