The focus is on four reinterpretations of the MARI 600 vase. With MARI 600 Primavera, MARI 600 Estate, MARI 600 Autunno, and MARI 600 Inverno, Tagliavini brings to life the passage of time and the changing of the seasons—as experienced by those who wait at home for the return of their loved ones. Originally designed by Enzo Mari in 1994, this edition of the vase pays tribute to his creative legacy, which continues to influence design to this day.

The designs are based on original sketches by Christian Tagliavini, which were transferred by hand onto the porcelain by KPM’s master painters. The combination of artistic design and masterful execution gives rise to poetic visual worlds full of mystery, longing, and a spirit of discovery.

The vases are accompanied by the Sélènaute, Magmatique, and Ovomarine To-Go cups, which were created based on Christian Tagliavini’s photo series *Voyages Extraordinaires* as a continuation of his exploration of imaginary journeys. Their names refer to three extraordinary expeditions inspired by Jules Verne: to the moon, into the center of the Earth, and into the depths of the sea.
