Barovier & Toso: Colors

In Paola Navone’s installation for Barovier & Toso, six large yurts enclose the magic of blown glass articulated in refined forms and intense colours. #MDW2016

The scenographic installation designed by Paola Navone explores the colours of glass through an imaginary journey between different cultures and distant countries.

The refined chandeliers in Murano glass are concealed inside six large yurts - traditional Mongolian tent structures - set in a large area of semi-darkness. Each tent is associated with a colour, acting as a window and at the same time, a homage to different worlds and cultures. The installation is also intended to highlight the flexibility of glass, an extraordinary material that influences and is influenced by the cultures that it comes into contact with and exports them, adapting to every era, every use and fashion.

Alongside the icons of the Venetian brand are also a number of unique pieces and some new products, such as Hanami where elements in blown glass with irregular surfaces descend from the ceiling panel with lightness and elegance to form a dense cloud of reflections and refractions. Or Escher, a game of geometric illusions in transparent and white opaque glass blended with the colours of other elements that can be used to develop practically infinite structures.
