Technique and the Art of Spatialism

The creation of Vaso doppio requires a masterful command over disparate materials, blending the tactile, earthy nature of glazed ceramic with the ephemeral, gaseous brilliance of neon. Hamel’s technique reflects a profound understanding of spatialism—an artistic movement that emphasizes the movement and light within space rather than just the physical object. The use of Murano glass for the neon elements adds a layer of historical prestige and artisanal luxury, connecting the contemporary medium of electric light to the storied glass-making traditions of Italy. Every curve of the turned ceramic is designed to catch and refract this artificial glow, ensuring that the sculpture feels as much like a performance of light as it does a physical vessel.

For the discerning collector or interior designer, this piece offers an unparalleled opportunity to introduce a sculptural element that bridges the gap between classical fine art and contemporary installation. Its presence in a room is transformative; it acts as a beacon of sophisticated design, capable of anchoring a minimalist gallery space or adding a layer of dramatic complexity to a luxurious residential lounge. To possess Vaso doppio is to hold a fragment of light itself, a permanent captured moment where the weight of ceramic meets the weightlessness of neon, creating an emotional resonance that lingers long after the lights have been dimmed.
