AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Set composed of 5 vintage glasses model "Chameleon", designed by architect and designer Sergio Asti for the Italian glassmaker Arnolfo di Cambio in the 1960s/1970s. The pieces are characterized by a balloon-shaped bowl in transparent crystal mounted on a solid stem in fine neodymium glass (Alexandrite glass). The material exhibits dichroic properties: it changes color depending on the light source, appearing violet/purple under natural or warm light, and shifting to a light blue/celestial shade when exposed to cold artificial lights or fluorescence. All 5 glasses are in excellent vintage condition, intact, free of chips, cracks, or clouding in the crystal. The original box or period labels are not present. I guarantee extremely careful professional packing, with individual protection in bubble wrap and a reinforced box to ensure the pieces’ integrity during transport.
