Mirrors

Vesuvius is the tribute of Atlasproject to the most powerful and romantic presence of nature in the landscape of Naples. Much wealth and much misery have come down over the centuries from Vesuvius ,

The Vesuvius Mirror recalls the amazing force of nature through the combination of the materials selected: lavic stone, fused glass, copper.
The geometries of the design retrace the relentless descent of incandescent lava, while the mirror suggest to the spectator thet witnessing the becoming of nature and remaining stunned is the only option offered to the spectator.
