**Space Age Elegance: The Timeless Appeal of WMF's Geislinger Glassworks - Set of 5 Items** **Description**: Immerse yourself in the bold aesthetics of space age design with this exquisite set of four vases and one candle holder, crafted at the illustrious Geislinger glassworks of WMF. Designed by the renowned artist Cari Zalloni, each piece in this collection is a paragon of futuristic design, seamlessly blending innovative shapes with meticulous craftsmanship. This ensemble, with its vibrant red, orange, and amber hues, embodies the avant-garde ethos that defined an era. **Cari Zalloni: A Visionary Designer**: Cari Zalloni (1937-2012) was a trailblazer in mid-century design, known for his daring creativity and distinctive style that left an indelible mark on modern aesthetics. Born in Athens and later based in Germany, Zalloni’s work spans various design fields, but he is particularly celebrated for his contributions to glassware and ceramics. His designs often merged bold geometric forms with a keen sense of color and material, capturing the futuristic optimism of the 1960s and 1970s. Zalloni’s collaboration with WMF, a leading name in metalware and glass production, resulted in some of the most iconic pieces of the space age era. At WMF’s Geislingen glassworks, Zalloni brought his visionary ideas to life, creating glassware that was not only functional but also a statement of modern design philosophy. His works for WMF are highly sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts, reflecting his ability to blend form, function, and artistry seamlessly. **A Legacy of Innovation**: Founded in 1853, WMF (Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik) has long been at the forefront of design and technology. The Geislingen glassworks, established in 1883, became a hub for pioneering glass production, especially notable for their Myra and Ikora glass lines introduced in the 1920s. These lines were celebrated for their unique iridescence and intricate designs, capturing the imagination of collectors worldwide. Zalloni's collaboration with WMF in the 1960s and 1970s further solidified the company's reputation as a leader in modern design. **The Essence of Space Age Design**: Emerging in the mid-20th century, space age design was profoundly influenced by the Space Race and a collective fascination with the cosmos. Characterized by sleek, futuristic forms and innovative materials, this design movement sought to encapsulate the optimism and forward-thinking spirit of the era. Iconic pieces like Eero Saarinen's Tulip Chair and Verner Panton's Panton Chair epitomized this trend, merging form and function in visionary ways. **The WMF Space Age Glass Collection**: This WMF glass collection, designed by Cari Zalloni, is a prime example of space age design. The set includes four vases of varying sizes and a candle holder, each with bold, geometric lines and pristine glass construction. The rich amber, orange, and red tones reflect the era's technological advancements and aesthetic preferences. These pieces were not merely decorative; they were symbols of a future where art and science coalesced seamlessly. **A Collector's Dream**: Today, WMF glassware from this period is highly sought after by collectors. Their historical significance, coupled with their striking beauty, makes them timeless additions to any collection. Each piece tells a story of innovation, creativity, and the relentless pursuit of excellence that defines WMF's legacy. Zalloni's work, in particular, continues to be revered for its bold design language and innovative approach.
