NasonMoretti - Pinocchio tall grey orange

Pinocchio is the elementary but very effective combination of a few geometric shapes: a cylinder, a sphere, the cone of the hat and of course the pointed and thin projection of the nose.Its iconic strength lays also in its immediate formal recognizability, while its simple shape suits perfectly the blowing technique of the master glassmakers of NasonMoretti. The result is a joyful and colorful family of Pinocchi who observe us by pointing their nose towards us.
