‘Narciso,’ Vase Series by Giorgia Zanellato

Narciso from Simone Cavadini on Vimeo.

Giorgia Zanellato introduced a collection of six vases that use mirrors to draw attention to the role of the flowers placed within. Made in borosilicate glass, powder-coated aluminum and mirrored stainless steel, the reflections, or refractions, range from simplest enhancement of a flower stem to a complex kaleidoscope effect.

“Narciso is a project which started with the intention of designing some vases, focusing on the functionality of the vase as an object. But what is the function of a vase? They are used to display flowers. Narciso is a collection of six different vases which use mirrors to draw attention to the role of the flowers. Mirrors are investigated in all their aspects, from the simplest reflection to the most complex one. In this way each vase shows flowers from a different point of view. They’re made in borosilicate glass, powder-coated alluminium and mirrored stainless steal.“
