Ecrin Lidded Vessel Small
by Sebastian Herkner
This small NUDE Ecrin container is practical and chic in equal parts. Designed by Sebastian Herkner, the collection draws inspiration from the Earth Pyramids of Ritten – an impressive natural monument in South Tyrol. Crafted from a combination of clear and colour-infused crystal, the container’s commanding, heavy base contrasts beautifully with the smooth shape of the lid. A precious piece to store precious items.
