Square Brass Cocktail Coffee Table with Cobalt Blue Optical Glass Insert, Italy

Offered by: Karina Gentinetta

Description
Bespoke and specially designed square brass and blue glass cocktail or coffee table inspired by Max Ingrand for Fontana Arte. This cocktail or coffee table consists of a square base in lacquered brass with 2 top glass inserts. The first (or inner glass) is a hand-casted square, concave, mirrored glass lens in a vibrant Cobalt blue hue. This inner glass piece was thermoformed into a sculptural concave form which was then tinted and mirrored. This inner, concave mirror is a sculptural art piece that changes hues depending on its angle and surroundings. This blue concave glass is then topped by a clear flat glass, resulting in a beautiful, 3D, optical effect. Hand-casted in Milan, Italy, 2023. This coffee or cocktail table which doubles as an art sculpture is on display at the Gallery at 200 Lex at the New York Design Center.

Please note: This concave art mirror was made individually by hand. The glass is first thermoformed in a hand cast mold made of steel or iron. This is where the glass is heated at enormously high temperature in the furnaces where it becomes flexible and formed into its concave shape. After the glass is formed, it is meticulously silvered by hand in the specific reflective color and then baked again. As every mirror is made individually by hand, there may be slight variations that are reflected in the silvering. These are not imperfections to the mirror but just the character of the one-of-a-kind handmade piece.
