If you've laid eyes on the creations of Italian design house Secondome, it's likely you'll remember.
Based in Rome, Secondome is a "kinetic, contemporary brand" helmed by architect Claudia Pignatale. Pignatale and her husband originally founded the concept in 2006 when they opened their first concept gallery in the Palazzo della Scimmia.
The creative showroom featured various interior accent pieces, including furniture, kitchen accessories and table decor. Met with rave reviews, the couple soon began to expand their collection and commission limited edition objects, focusing heavily on the medium of blown glass.
The collaborations expanded to include both well known and up-and-coming designers. Fabrica, Sam Baron, Kiki Van Eijk, Nigel Coats and Zaven are all included in the company's design repertoire.
The "Uplifting" carafe collection by Dean Brown is a testament to the innovative design spirit championed by Secondome. These ethereal decanters are designed to evoke the feeling of elation experienced when drinking with old friends and new. The contents appear to be levitation in mid-air, as if celebrating right along. The center of the carafe lifts out for service, while the outer vessel resides on the table, serving as a beautiful stand.

Designed by Valentina Carretta, the Uccia Ina are carafes that were inspired by traditional coffee pots and oil containers. Traditional forms with a modern interpretation, Secondome reinterprets the products we use everyday.
