In DC1826A, Vincenzo De Cotiis constructs an asymmetrical composition reminiscent of the facets of a precious stone. The mirrored planes are held within the free contour of a cast-brass frame, while their subtle shifts disrupt the conventional unity of the reflection and give the object a sculptural presence.

Cast brass, German silver and mirror bring together polished surfaces that respond differently to light. Positioned at varying angles, the elements create a changing interplay of reflections and highlights. In this way, a functional object becomes an exploration of light, material and perception.
