Two tubes, working together like communicating vessels. True to its name, it was created by due persone: Matteo Guida and me, Josh. It began as a tribute to the traditional porrón. Together with Ihintza Errekondo, we first made it in ceramic: the taller tube had a small lid with a pinhole that let out a thin stream of wine—usually all over you, until you learned how to use it. Later, we removed the lid to make room for flowers, and the porrón became a vase. Now it has taken shape in stainless steel, its interior finished in red—Matteo’s idea, because he says it adds a touch of Italian sensuality.

Florero duo. Porque son dos tubos que hacen de vasos comunicantes. Y porque lo hemos hecho entre due persone, io e Matteo Guida. Además es un homenaje al porrón, porque cuando empezamos a diseñarlo con Ihintza y lo hicimos en cerámica con Rosa Cortiella, era un porrón. El tubo más alto llevaba una tapa con un agujerito para que salga un pequeño chorro de vino y pudieras empaparte con vino hasta aprender a usarlo. Ahora lleva rojo por dentro porque Matteo dice que así queda más sexy.
