Fade is a collection of vases and side tables that places the quietest point of each object at  center stage: the joint.  Rather  than concealing the points of connection, as tradition dictates, the design brings them to the  surface and gives them color. 

A subtle chromatic veil inhabits the edges, spreading through  the material like a liquid shadow before gradually fading away. Naturally translucent  alabaster does not simply receive the color: it dissolves it, transforms it, and returns it  differently depending on the light. 

Fade does not decorate the joint; it celebrates it as a  place of meaning. The point where the parts meet is also where the design reveals its most  authentic nature: the boundary as a generative space.

The project has been presented at EditNapoli 2026, and won the Jury Award.
