Serralunga | Cassero

The collection captures the aesthetic of molds used to contain concrete during pouring – known as "casseri" – transforming them into design vases with a raw and textured effect

This collection is inspired by cement molds, creating polyethylene monobloc planters with a deliberately realistic cement effect, akin to the process of pouring and then extracting from a mold. Ideal for both indoor and outdoor settings, they come in four versions that optimize transportation and add a touch of originality to spaces.
