The Narciso collection is made up of visually striking vases inspired by the myth of Narcissus. If a modern interpretation was required, these flower holders would be front and center. Instead of being bent over a body of water for eternity as a flower, he would be placed in one of these designs, which will reflect his unnatural beauty through the use of mirrors.
Designed by Giorgia Zanellato, an industrial designer hailing from Venice, Italy, the Narciso collection was created for her program at ECAL, University of Art and Design Lausanne. The designs were made out of a mixture of materials including Borosilicate glass, powder coated aluminum and mirrored stainless steel. They come together for sleek creations.
