About the workIn round years, people eagerly await what the new decade will bring. They open up the opportunity for a new beginning in design. This service, especially the unusual shape of the jug, seems to fit the bill. The Venetian designer and architect Tobia Scarpa did not take any precedents into consideration, but instead looked to the future. One cup bears the label of the commercial branch of the Venini glassworks in Milan.
