Aina Kari

Accessories Maker - Veneto, Italy

After a successful career with leading brands worldwide, Marina Cighir returned to Treviso to embark on a new adventure. From sculptural vases to decor lighting and chandeliers, Marina seamlessly fuses Venetian craftsmanship with modern poetry, reflecting Italy's rich artisanal tradition. Embracing "slow design," each creation emerges from meaningful collaborations with local artisans, blending diverse heritage. Curved-blown glass, hammered brass and provocative marble stones lose their natural hardness to become statement décor objects.

AINA KARI

Marina Cighir is the passionate creator of Aina Kari brand who loves exploring the many ways of matching the most exclusive materials and Italian craftsmanship as Murano glass and Palissandro marble, from the recovery of an uneven block , in a contemporary path to create unique decorative objects and design candles. The brand was founded between Milan and Venice, the axis of Italian design, striking the right balance between art as a source of inspiration, and ethics to give the future a real future. The brand meets a fully "Made in Italy" production process marked by a careful selection of the finest suppliers and hyper-local production.

Aina Kari’ stands on three fundamental pillars: Italian craftmanship, sustainability and bold material combination. These three notions guide the research, the experimentation, the creation and the manufacturing of the designs. Fluid lines are enhanced by vibrant Murano glass colors in contrast with the roughened and finished satin of the marble. From Crevola query in the heart of Ossola Valley to Murano Island to highlight the excellence of Italian artisans, where the silent monumentality of marbles brightly embrace the fragility and elegance of Murano glass artefacts.

Almost always the mist, caused by the humidity and smog of the Po valley, precludes the view of the mountains. There are days, however, in which particular meteorological situations occur, which give rise to a phenomenon that, in dialect, the lagoon fishermen call "drifting". The wind of Bora Chiara, which blows from the north-east, drives away the mist bringing clear skies, low temperatures and clear and dry air; the refraction is almost completely zeroed, so much so that the top of Monte Civetta can be the backdrop for a gondola.
Only on these days, therefore, will the mountain horizon be visible to the naked eye and within shooting range. The decorative object combines the craftsmanship of Murano art, a cerulean blue blown vase, white-milk crystal inside and dozens of water drops in transparent crystal joined to a white marble trunk, where the living, material part tells the peaks of the mountain during this majestic typically Venetian event called STRAVEDAMENTO.
