Green Line takes its name from the Green Line of Beirut, a symbol of the city after the Lebanese civil war. It was the demarcation line that separated Muslim West Beirut from Christian East Beirut along Damascus Street. Fabio Novembre focuses on the unstoppable resilience of nature, reborn from the ruins and horrors of war. In his words, “a flower will grow again above every human error”. Presented in 2009, the series consists of four sculptural single-flower vases, slip cast in white clay.

After graduating in architecture, Fabio Novembre opened his studio in Milan in 1994. He works with some of the most influential brands in the furniture sector. He is considered one of the leading figures of new Italian design. Bitossi Ceramiche makes the series in Montelupo Fiorentino, where the company was founded in 1921. Three stems of different heights make this vase an elegant centrepiece for a dining table or a sideboard.
