Description

In Impossible Relic, Sacco continues her tactile investigation into the friction between material memory and contemporary disconnection. A CNC-cut marble I-beam—precise, industrial, immovable—serves as an altar of sorts, bearing the weight of a molten gesture: hand-blown alabaster glass draped like fabric, frozen mid-fall. The juxtaposition is stark but not cold. It is as if time has been paused at the very moment a relic becomes one—when function surrenders to myth, and material asserts its right to meaning beyond utility.

The glass is available in Alabaster or Gold Ruby

About Studio Lisa Sacco Visit Showroom →

Lisa Sacco is a multi-disciplinary designer specializing in sensory furniture and objects. Experimentation and research underpin her design practice which aims to foster material engagement and deepen our sensitivity to the world around us. Simple yet complete gestures serve as both encounters and confrontations within our system of design and use of everyday objects. Calculated intervention allows her to bend meaning, usurp convention, and allow objects to speak for themselves. Lisa holds an MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and a Master's in Photography from Syracuse University. Her work has been showcased in numerous periodicals and exhibitions including Architectural Digest, Alcova Miami, ICFF/Wanted Design, RISDxCappellini, Re-Wilded Domesticity, ISFD Innovation & Design, and DESIGNxRI. Lisa has been selected as an Artist-in-Residence and Fellowship Recipient at Anderson Ranch Arts Center in 2024.
