shanghai vase
Design Mario Bellini, 2012
Transparent or batch-dyed PMMA
Made in Italy by Kartell
A multifaceted vase opening from the base to the top in a swirling motion that projects light and energy. Shanghai is like refracted light radiating from prism-like crystals with alternating glows and shadows, creating irregular geometric forms, with a multiform and multicolored fascination like its Oriental namesake.
Since the 1960's, the versatile Mario Bellini has been celebrated for his pioneering industrial designs for companies such as Olivetti, Kartell, Cassina, Artemide, B&B Italia, Heller, Renault, Rosenthal, Vitra, and Yamaha. Mario Bellini has won several Compasso d'Oro awards. Twenty-five of Bellini's elegant creations are in the Permanent Collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, which honored him with a one-man show in 1987.

Mario Bellini
Mario Bellini worked in urban planning as well as product and furniture design. He began as an architect after graduating from Milan Polytechnic. Some notable works are business machines for Olivetti, the "cab" chair for Cassina, furniture for B&B Italia and Vitra. His design work expanded to TV sets for Brionvega, stereos for Yamaha and a 5-year stint as an automobile design consultant for Renault, Fiat and Lancia cars.
The Kartell brand comes alive through design enthusiasm which can be appreciated by observing Kartell products. Expressing design languages in collaboration with talented designers is Kartell's super power.
