Like an arrow slit in the wall, or a slash of light, this rectangular mirror reflects everything that surrounds it. The glass is beveled along the vertical edge and provided with a painted support with polished mirrored finish. "Dino Gavina, (1922-2007), began his career in the 40's and soon began to gain support from many of the country's leading designers and architects: "fathers of the country", as he jokingly refers to them, including Carlo Scarpa, Enzo Mari, Marcel Breuer, to name but a few. His work in those years was an important starting point for what then came to be known as Italian Style, and has since come to stand for top quality, giving Italian design the prestigious reputation that it still enjoys today throughout the whole world." from Cassina web site This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
