DESIGN CONTEXT

This rare Luigi Massoni Guzzini Vase is one of the most expressive examples of Italian plastic design from the 1970s—an object where industrial material becomes pure movement.

Designed by Luigi Massoni for Guzzini, this large sculptural vase is often referred to as the “Fazzoletto” for the way its form recalls a soft handkerchief lifted by air. The flowing folds, curved edges, and asymmetrical opening create a silhouette that feels spontaneous and alive, despite being made from rigid postformed PMMA.

Its vibrant translucent orange amplifies the effect: light passes through the surface, creating reflections, shadows, and changing tones throughout the day. It works beautifully with flowers, but its real strength is as a standalone object—on a console, pedestal, shelf, or dining table, where it behaves almost like a small architectural sculpture.

Produced by Guzzini during the golden years of Italian Space Age experimentation, this Luigi Massoni Guzzini Vase reflects the optimistic and visionary language of the era: bold plastics, emotional forms, and design intended to transform everyday living.

Its vibrant translucent orange amplifies the sculptural effect, creating shifting reflections and depth throughout the day. For a more compact version of the same iconic design, discover the smaller grey edition here.

A true statement piece for interiors that appreciate form, light, and the quiet drama of exceptional objects.
