Psychidae Pair takes its name from the bagworm moths, a family of Lepidoptera that build protective cases from twigs, plant debris and other materials found around them. Each insect’s case is unique, shaped by instinct and by the resources at hand.
Inspired by this strategy, the vases are the result of Riccardo Cenedella’s research into materials and manufacturing processes, developed with Equilibri, a company specializing in tubular steel furniture. Just as the moths build from what they find, the vases are made by welding together steel tubes of varying lengths and diameters, recovered from the company’s manufacturing offcuts. Material destined to become waste is reinterpreted in a new design language.
The project follows what the designers call ‘differentiated serial production’: from a single generative design, any number of objects can be made that share the same formal identity yet remain individually unique. The final configuration of each vase depends on which steel tubes are available and their inherent variability.
Each vase is completed with a glass insert that holds water.
