Tonelli Design, an Italian company specialising in designer glass furnishing accessories and more, launches Split created by designer Francesco Forcellini.
Split is a mirror family characterised by a vertical cut; within this cut, two inclined mirrored surfaces reflect the surrounding space and each other, creating a dynamic play of multiplying reflections.
This collection – says designer Francesco Forcellini – comes from the idea of entering the mirror, into a space beyond. The slit that divides the mirror into two parts also holds the object together, creating new perspectives. Split is a simple sign that wants to bring something special, completely in mirrored glass. It has no frame and its proportions and formal balance are simply given by the vertical split.
This mirror has two levels of interpretation, one very graphic in the overall view, and a second more magical and intimate, which can only be perceived when approaching the split. The mirrors on the central part of the split can be of different colours from those on the sides, thus obtaining a more or less marked effect. Thanks to its formal simplicity and single-materiality, this mirror has the characteristic of being easily placed both in modern contexts and in more classic and traditional ones, making any environment refined.
Tonelli design has been manufacturing glass furnishings since the 1980s – bookcases, sideboards, tables, lamps, mirrors and many more – cooperating with international designers and adopting a mindset that is based on the respect of one of human history’s most ancient and noble material. In 2020 Tonelli added an important piece to its growth announcing the artistic direction of Massimo Castagna and a further expansion of the catalogue with new products and materials. In 2022, on the occasion of the International Year of Glass, the company presented an original handbook to guide the public through the discovery of this incredible multi-faceted material.
You will find Tonelli Design at Salone del Mobile.Milano in Hall 24, Stand L12.
