Milan Design Week 2015. In a delightful and semi-hidden courtyard in Brera Design District, Paola C. showroom showcased a design dialogue between architect Aldo Cibic and his nephew and designer Matteo Cibic. The playful battlefield was a table that was set with Table Joy, two glass-blown collections.

Aldo’s design mixed and matched transparent geometrical volumes with smoothed out edges and vibrant colours. The set combines in glass, ceramic and brass. Matteo’s glass-blown work seems to be inspired by in-wonderland creatures that inhabitat the table with a quirky attitude.

Aldo Cibic‘s tableware designs are an upbeat, vividly coloured and ever so slightly radical family of products. Vases, bowls, cake stands and carafes come in a marvellous medley of colours, shapes and materials meant to be mixed and matched. The lines between form and function become blurred as a timeless child-like language morphs into high class design.

Matteo Cibic‘s weird and wonderful glass creatures appear to be inspired by some otherworldly menagerie. The table is a stage and occupying the limelight are a host of delightful animal shapes. Vases, bowls and carafes take on a life of their own, floating weightlessly like jelly-fish or turning into amiable animals. Again, form and function merge into an enchanting blend, to create a table setting of irresistibly delightful distinction.
