Cubolucecromo will surprise you with its unmistakable character. The chromed surfaces have a mirrored effect that generates a visual guessing game. The cube reflects objects near it, so that its volume appears to be made up of fragments of other surfaces and shards of light borrowed from its surroundings. The tidiest of straightforward geometric shapes, the cube dematerialises in the kaleidoscope of the images it reflects. Cubolucecromo comes in a limited edition (5.000 pieces) and is dedicated to the permanent collection at the Milan Triennale. Already part of the permanent collection at MoMA, this “chrome” edition now celebrates a new statement of the exclusive quality of design classic.
