Foja, the Venetian word for leaf, scatters glass foliage through the air as if an autumn wind had paused mid-flight.
Each leaf is blown and hand-shaped in clear Murano glass, its veins pressed into the surface while the glass is still molten. Thin and slightly curled, every piece catches the light along its edges and throws soft reflections onto the surrounding walls.
Foja is composed rather than hung: spirals, cascades and clouds of leaves are arranged around the space that receives them. Density, drop and the rhythm of the fall are studied with the architect, so each installation seems to have drifted into the room on its own.
Every leaf is pressed and curled by hand: no two share the same veins.
Standard compositions shown for reference. Each Foja installation is tailored to the host space.
Foja is designed for lobbies, stairwells and double-height living rooms: spaces with air to move through. The composition follows the volume, swirling around a central void or descending gently along a wall.
Our atelier works with architects and designers to compose each installation around the specific geometry, light and intent of the space. Please reach out to begin a conversation.
