The piece
The Specchio di Proust is a striking mirror that transforms a functional object into a work of art. Its richly painted frame, characterized by Mendini’s iconic pointillist pattern, reflects the playful spirit and expressive language of postmodern design. Both decorative and symbolic, it stands as a collectible piece that blurs the line between design and art.

The designer
Key architect and designer of Italian Radical Design. Mendini introduced the concept of "redesign," taking classic objects and transforming them with kitsch irony and pointillist colors (like the Proust Armchair). His approach was more philosophical and literary than technical. He is relevant because he liberated design from the tyranny of pure function, allowing objects to tell stories and express personality. His work represents the intellectual transition of the 70s and 80s in Italy, perfect for spaces seeking pieces with strong cultural and artistic weight.

The brand
Glas Italia represents the contemporary evolution of glass. With a century-old family heritage in Lombardy, the brand collaborates with designers like Patricia Urquiola and Piero Lissoni to push glass to its limits. They are famous for their iridescent finishes and bold use of color and refraction, as seen in the Shimmer collection. Glas Italia manufactures coffee tables, mirrors, and storage furniture that play with light to create magical optical effects. It is the perfect brand to introduce a modern, vibrant, and ethereal focal point in high-end interior design projects.
