Photo by Oliver Haas Production by Roberta Angelini Marie-Rose Kahane Kahane in her Venice studio, seated at the Isola high table topped with the Lava Vase, mouth-blown and handcrafted in Murano, both designed by her. Founder of Yali Glass, Marie-Rose Kahane is keenly aware of the human legacies behind various types of craft. Her practice is deeply rooted in liberated curiosity and experimentation with materials, leading her beyond her roots in glassblowing and woodworking and into engaging with bronze. “Bronze is an ancient and ancestral material,” she states. “Working with [it] moves me deeply.” Through employing a lost-wax casting technique, Kahane’s work expresses her appreciation for beauty found in ancient materials and forms, reimagining them in a thoroughly contemporary way. A teaspoon originally modeled in ceramic was Kahane’s inspiration to begin working with bronze. Made of visually raw and delicate materials, the new collection of spoons calls to mind ancient and familiar forms, functioning both as daily utensils and timeless sculptural artifacts. yaliglass.com Handmade and tactile, pieces by dumæ like the Corey Lamp are studies in high-quality minimalism. dumæ co-founders Kym Gold and Sakshi Khurana dumæ Fashion has long set the standard for material innovation, craftsmanship and product development.
