Dodo by Cattelan Italia: a Sculptural Blown Glass Table

The Dodo blown glass coffee table by Cattelan Italia, listed among the 2024-25 novelties in the brand's catalogue, demonstrates the refinement of traditional Murano craftsmanship. It is made with the ancient technique Balloton. The body of the coffee table has a three-dimensional intertwined diamond pattern created with a metal mould. During the blowing phase, the molten glass is shaped to give it an unmistakable faceted effect.

The upper surface is decorated with a Mandala design, recalling flower petals or perfect geometric patterns inspired by nature and the Buddhist tradition. The delicate purple shades of the smoky glass amplify the optical effect, while the light reflects between the ripples to create a soft, enveloping atmosphere.

The three pointed legs, in stark contrast with the soft shapes of the top, add a touch of retro charm with a contemporary twist. Dodo represents the design excellence of Cattelan Italy. This piece is a blend of tradition, craftsmanship and modernity with unique charm.
