'Pavone' Mirror by Artist Sirio Alessandri, 73" Tall, Published Casa Vogue, 1976

Superb and super rare pair of MORGANA mirrors designed by Angelo Cortesi and Sergio Chiappà -Catto.

This design clearly imbues the influence of important italian artist Getulio Alviani's masterful series of 'superficie a testura vibratile' (surfaces of vibrating textures). The central square opening was designed to either accomodate a mirror or a jewel like object of choice or a photo , a cameo etc. This is documented in the Formaluce February 1971 article.

Cortesi and Chiappà -Cattò are well known for their beautiful 'Cicindela'and 'Angolo' light sculptures also produced by Forme e Superficie. The Morgana mirrors were published in:- CASA...
