San Marco Glass

—

Exceptional Crafts and Eternal Beauty The San Marco Mirroring Collection by Aina Kari and Giovanni Botticelli captures the harmonious interplay of light, reflection, and exceptional craftsmanship. Venice — a city born of water and light — defies impermanence, its reflections rendering beauty infinite. Passion for Meaningful Design A fascinating dialogue unfolds between the poetic allure of the Venetian world and the excellence of contemporary craftsmanship. Murano Glass and Reflective Mirrors Inspired by the ancient rituals of lighting a candle and gazing into water, the collection reinterprets these timeless gestures in a modern context. Characterized by Murano glass and Botticelli’s double-bronzed mirrors, it captures and refracts light in a contemporary manner, juxtaposing the smooth clarity of mirror surfaces with the warmth and texture of glass. Illumination, Contemplation, and Reflection The expressive intensity of the materials gives Aina Kari the momentum for reinterpretation, inspiring awareness through light and form. Golden Splendor in Venice The collection draws inspiration from the Basilica di San Marco at night, after the rain—its domes and arches adorned with intricate mosaics and gilded details that shimmer beneath a gentle glow. As the square becomes a mirror, reflections of the luminous arches and ornate façades create a surreal vision, as if the heavens themselves had descended to rest upon the water. Vivid Functionality Each piece is both poetic and functional—a vivid decorative object that captures the enchanting interplay of design, light, and reflection. Murano Glass Mirrors and Candleholders Showcasing the unrivaled artistry of Murano glass, the San Marco collection creates a dialogue between mirrors and colored glass. Through the refraction and reflection of light, each piece expresses a refined yet playful aesthetic. The dance of candlelight upon double-colored mirrors conjures a magical, almost ethereal atmosphere.
