Quaderna Mirror

The Quaderna Mirror is inspired by the 'Measuring Mirror' sculpture module that the group's architects used to study the effect of the continuous and potentially infinite super surface. A 5 mm thick plate glass is perimetrically contained by a 51x15x195 cm frame in white Print laminate wood, digitally printed with black squares at 3 cm spacing. The mirror is floor-standing and fastened to the wall. 

What we are talking about here are the terrible kids of Superstudio. In other words, in a given time in history when everything had to be criticized and rethought, in a season when the Italian architecture was passionate and which is now a myth, a group of young students wished to change the world from Florence and definitely managed to leave their mark, at least in our world, the design world. They began with the ‘constant monument’ idea, which wrapped up everything such as a squared magma, continued with the ‘histogram of architecture’, which generated without any effort furniture and ambiences whose “Super-surface was a mental attitude model,” and then finally arrived at the ‘Super-idea’, which beats time with a constant regularity, deliberately written in black and white, conceptually revealed and theoretically closed, eventually generating the Quaderna collection, the most architectural items ever seen in the long history of furniture, which Aurelio Zanotta was ready to turn into a myth. Zanotta starts producing Quaderna with the courage of a brand that always wants to experiment and has an eye for staying ahead of the times: it will follow the Neomodern and Postmodern wave with Alchimia and Memphis between the 70s and80s.
