What happens if you cast metal in expanded glass? Moved by this question Gian Maria and Giorgio decided to develop a limited collection of mirrors frames in pewter. The resulting texture gives a precious look to this metal which enfolds the mirrors like gems.

Description

Clusters and stems expands in the space incorporating the surroundings. The unpredictability of the casting technique developed using expanded glass blocks as mould, in fact, trick the human eye, presenting an hybrid aesthetic. The collection including stools, frames, lights and decorative elements question the limit between natural and artificial in the domestic realm. For Envisions Invites we developed a collection of frames in pewter embedding the mirrors inside them like precious gems. The shapes, on the other hand, recall the splashing gesture of the casting technique.
