A cabinet of curiosities, imagined for the AOI collector’s most personal valuables. Designed by Farah Marafie as a sculptural collectible, true to AOI’s ethos of functional beauty, ritual, and timeless design. Months of sketching, ideation, and prototyping led to this composition of strength and softness. Solid steel anchors the blown glass, vulnerability held by structure. Working alongside Murano’s master craftsmen, Farah sought to challenge tradition and rethink the relationship between permanence and fragility. Steel offers weight and structure, while glass carries memory and light.
Inside: 4 unique individual sculptures holding AOI 18 karat gold rings, and space for future heirlooms. These sculptures are part of future AOI collectibles, offering collectors a place to store and display their growing archive.
Hand-blown Murano glass, textured glass, steel, vintage Murano-style handles, copper particles infused into the glass. Handmade in Murano, Italy.
