The fragility and impermanence of the human body is explored in the transparent borosilicate glass Cuore (Heart) Carafe by Italian designer Liviana Osti. The two carafes, which fit together to form a human heart, were designed in a Milan-based Paolo C. university project where the artists were tasked with creating tableware based on themes of health, food and eating habits.
“The heart is a reminder for the generally underestimated but essential role health plays in our lives. In order to prevent cardiovascular and blood pressure diseases we have to start with the root of the problem, our daily consumption of food and beverage,” explains the artist’s website. “ A wine decanter is built together with a water carafe. The organic heart shape has been developed into two different, stand-alone objects according to the natural division of ventricles.”
