“Pesce Arancio” (Orange Fish) by Lafiore

“Pesce Arancio” (Orange Fish) is a luminous expression of Mediterranean glass artistry, handcrafted by Lafiore on the island of Mallorca. Blown from recycled glass in vivid amber-orange, the sculpture celebrates the playful vitality of sea life through fluid form and radiant color.

Its curving body rises into a tapering spout-like fin, evoking the movement of a fish gliding through sunlight-dappled water. The bright orange surface, flecked with white inclusions, contrasts harmoniously with deep cobalt fins and eyes — a color dialogue reminiscent of the island’s sea and sky.

The surface carries Lafiore’s signature matte finish, achieved through gentle sandblasting that softens reflections and adds a tactile, ocean-weathered charm. Each fin and curve is shaped by hand, revealing the spontaneous rhythm of Mallorcan glassblowing tradition.

Whether displayed as a standalone accent or part of a contemporary art glass collection, “Pesce Arancio” embodies Lafiore’s philosophy: transforming recycled materials into objects of light, movement, and Mediterranean joy.
