i think it was designed by Philippe Starck for the Daum Glass company. I believe this series was called "La Toute Petite Etrangete" (All Small Strangeness) and sold individually.....but not quite sure at the moment ! :nix:

hi claretjugcollector
thanx for your answer but it's definately designed by Ivan Baj
(arcade murano)
and it is supposed to be executed by simone cenedese
model name is definately vento (italian for wind strength)
I just don't know the date of production and how many of these vento has been produced...
as far as I know, arcade pieces are usually limited up to 300pieces
