Patricia Urquiola has designed the ethereal shimmer series for Glas Italia. The side tables transform when exposed to different light sources or viewed from different angles. The hues and tones are refracted, giving the impression of transparency and density, depending on how the furniture is viewed. Constructed from laminated glass attached at intersecting planes, the shimmer achieves reflectivity and luminosity through the blended, diluted silvering mix finish with bi-chromatic geometric particles. The combination creates a translucent finish achieving brilliant reflections and a spectrum of refracted light.
