Nacre

“Nacre (nay-ker): also known as Mother of Pearl. The process involves layer upon layer of coating until a uniquely shaped pearl is formed. It is strong, resilient, and iridescent with an opalescent appearance.
The NACRE coffee table is an artistic and innovative statement piece designed for Glas Italia. Inspired by the organic form of an oyster shell, the collection is constructed from two delicate sheets of heated glass, intricately bonded together by hand for precision. Through experimenting with the limits of heat tension and gravity, a new halfway point was discovered to mold the asymmetrical form and fluid shape of the glass cavity. Nacre has a light and elegant quality that heightens the overall experience in any setting”
