Gengè mirror, in mahogany and canaletto walnut by Vilardo / Marino for Medulum
About the Item
“Because a reality wasn’t given to us and is not there; but we have to make it ourselves, if we want to be; and it will never be one for ever, but constant and infinitely changeable.” Luigi Pirandello – One, No One and One Hundred Thousand.
Thanks to a particular interplay of points of view, when looking at Gengè – the furniture accessory designed by Matteo Vilardo and Marcello Marino per MEDULUM – it is only possible to scrutinise its image when looking from the right angle, while those looking from the outside will continue to see only the mask formed by the object. A collection of non-mirrors – at the same time highly unusual, spectacular and yet minimalist – which leads the observer to reflect on the topic of identity within contemporary society, spurring them not to stop their search for the masks which overlap between
ourselves and reality. Thus, the ancient and extremely important topic of the double is reinterpreted through the tools of design: what we really are and what others see of us.
A collection of non-mirrors which aims to lead the observer to investigate – in a manner which is contemporary yet at the same time free of any form of virtuality – the ancient theme of identity and its double; using the mask as the shape, the mirror as the instrument and a wooden diaphragm as an optical expedient.
A stated homage by the designers to Italian writer Pirandello and the protagonist of his novel Uno, nessuno e centomila (One, No One and One Hundred Thousand), Gengè also indirectly represents a tribute to his common Sicilian origins.

Medulum
An ancient river flowing in the green countryside of the Veneto hinterland, between emerged lands and swamps that have now disappeared. Medulum, one of the favourite waterways of the Venetian aristocracy of old, indispensable for reaching their country homes.
This is where our work draws its inspiration. We combine the experience of 40 years with innovative solutions, collaborating with architect and designer studios in the search and experimentation of new languages, through the craftsmanship of artisanal productions.
Medulum has been designing and making furniture and accessories by searching for and experimenting with new languages, collaborating with architects and designers, with the craftsmanship typical of artisanal productions.
The very name of the brand is both a reference and a tribute to the area: Medulum is the Latin name for the river that was the Venetian nobility’s preferred way to travel to their summer residences from Venice. And it is the landscape of the Lagoon that provides the backdrop for company owner Diego Zanchettin’s daily journey to Medulum’s headquarters.
