Scena is a series of solid glass mirrors full of depth and bold graphic lines, expertly crafted by hand in Murano. A central inspiration was the forms and spatial designs of the architect Andrea Palladio, and his constant focus on the vista within his work. /Scè-na/ from the framing of the landscapes surrounding La Rotonda, to the influence of the Renaissance painters in the illusionary set design for the Teatro Olimpico, the Palladio's architecture constantly played with our own perception of space.
