Pioner

Pioner is a creative object of compact dimensions that encapsulates a significant temporal value: a vintage soul with a strongly contemporary attitude. It originates from a collaboration with designer Gianfranco Coltella, a distinguished student of Bruno Munari, Augusto Garau, and Attilio Marcolli, who is renowned for his production of luminous sculptures from recycled glass.

Angelino Artworks and the Piedmontese artist are no strangers to co-branding collaborations, but this one is undoubtedly one of their finest, capable of perfectly synthesizing the style of the late last century with a decidedly modern and versatile appeal.

Materials and
Construction

The resulting Pioner vase is celebrated for its uniquely balanced form. It’s crafted from an innovative composite of 3D-printed silica sand and the same resin used for ships. This material undergoes a “post-curing” heat treatment for over 15 hours, achieving ceramic-like durability. The piece is then primed, painted with a solvent-based color, and sealed with a protective acrylic clear coat. A glass insert, produced by a local company, completes the vase. Pioner is the first home decor item made from this novel material, with a final color palette carefully selected by Gianfranco Coltella to enhance its design and beauty.
