Appliqué

‘Orsete van Sottsass: Fragments of coloured glass are placed on a hot marver and heated from above with a propane torch. Meanwhile, the glassmaker blows an enormous bubble of glass. The outside of the balloon-shaped bubble is reheated and pressed upside down onto coloured glass fragments on the hot plate, fusing them to the glass bubble.’
