Milan Design Week 2018 - а lot of beautiful glass designs

It seems that glass is the popular material this year at Salone. I like Patricia Urquiola's new tables for Glas Italia:

and Alwa One Table by Sebastian Herkner for Pulpo: 

Very impressive is Hypertable by Mario Bellini for Glas Italia (above) 

"Low table in transparent 10-millimeter extra-light glass glued at 45 degrees, the lower surface of which is completely covered by sheets of irregularly shaped and faceted extra-light glass. The edges of these glass sheets are beveled at different angles varying in degree of incline and width. The resulting table is one which resembles a magical set of prisms with unlimited faceting and unexpected reflections. A version is also available in mirror finish, where the features of the table are enhanced in an explosion of luminosity."

And especially the Alcova collection designed the Bouroullec brothers fro Wonderglass:

Beautiful Designer Glass for Your Home

The purity of hand-crafted glass in an unexpectedly geometric, sharp shape. It is made by carefully mouth-blowing glass into a diamond-shaped steel mold. It is cooled, released and then polished by hand to give each vase stunning sheen and smoothness.

Created by Maija Puoskari and Tuukka Tujula, available in a range of colours, patterns and opacities.

"When receiving flowers one often has just the wrong vase. The glass vase Pi-no Pi-no offers a solution to this problem with its modifiability.The height and colour of this practical and beautiful vase can be adjusted through its stackable glass rings, so that one vase can work in different situations.When not in use for flowers, the vase can be turned into a container due to its wooden lid."Maija Puoskari
