About the Item

Large Scena Olympic Murano Mirror by Nikolai Kotlarczyk. Dimensions: D 3 x W 60 x H 90 cm. Materials: silvered carved glass, golden carved polished steel. Nembro marble (base) Also available in other sizes and designs. Scena is a series of solid glass mirrors full of depth and bold graphic lines, expertly crafted by hand in Murano. A central inspiration was the forms and spatial designs of the architect Andrea Palladio, and his constant focus on the vista within his work. Working with the skilled glass artists of Murano, subtle use of perspective and depth was created by the intricate carving and grinding of the mirrored glass surfaces, then silvered to give depth to the details /Scè-na/ from the framing of the landscapes surrounding La Rotonda, to the influence of the Renaissance painters in the illusionary set design for the Teatro Olimpico, the Palladio's architecture constantly played with our own perception of space. Nikolai Kotlarczyk is an Australian designer based in Copenhagen, Denmark since 2013. Graduating from the Queensland College of Arts in Brisbane, his experience in Australia was strongly influenced by his time with renowned design and manufacturing house Tait. Nikolai’s studio focuses on design pieces full of narrative. A strong connection with geography, history, materiality, and rituals can be seen within his pieces. Working within a self-expressed decorative Minimalist style, his work aims to simplify the act of storytelling through an honest pallet of materials, and bold forms. His work includes self-initiated edition pieces and design pieces for manufactures and has been shown in a number of international exhibitions including Milan, Paris, Stockholm, Copenhagen, and Melbourne.
