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.
