Story

Metamorphosis in a mirror

Cassina says the mirror rules out vanity from its name and pays tribute to the cast-glass murrina, the masterpiece placed at the centre of the circle.

Murano craft

The murrina is hand-crafted by glass artisans, and a striped morisa cordon is applied by hand around it.
