Tavolo Shimmer
Made by Glas Italia
Designed by Patricia Urquiola
Le lampade Shimmer di Patricia Urquiola, dal carattere etereo, sono pezzi magici che si trasformano se esposte a diverse fonti di luce o se viste da diverse angolazioni. Le tonalità e i toni rifratti danno l'impressione di trasparenza e densità, che cambiano a seconda della posizione di visualizzazione.
Il tavolo da pranzo è disponibile in due diverse forme ed è costruito con vetro laminato incollato su piani intersecanti, che fanno sì che i loro profili e le loro composizioni cambino drasticamente se visti da diverse prospettive. Il tavolino fa parte di una collezione di tavoli rotondi in vetro laminato e incollato di varie dimensioni.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of glass is used in the Shimmer Table?
The Shimmer Table is constructed from laminated glass, with multiple layers bonded together at intersecting planes. This lamination process is what creates the optical depth and color-shifting effect the design is known for.
Why does the Shimmer Table appear to change color?
The color and apparent density shift because of how light refracts through the bonded laminated glass planes. The angle of the viewer relative to those intersecting joints alters which wavelengths are emphasized, producing the impression of transparency or chromatic density.
Is the Shimmer Table available as both a dining and side table?
Yes. The dining version is offered in two distinct shapes, while the side table is part of a companion series of round laminated glass tables produced in multiple sizes.
Who is Patricia Urquiola and what is her design approach?
Patricia Urquiola is a Spanish-born, Milan-based architect and designer whose work spans furniture, lighting, and interiors for many of Europe's leading manufacturers. Her practice is characterized by material curiosity, a deep engagement with craft, and a willingness to use industrial processes for expressive, often poetic ends.
How does Glas Italia achieve the optical effects in its glass furniture?
Glas Italia specializes in the transformation of glass through industrial and artisanal processes, including lamination, lacquering, and sandblasting. The Shimmer Table's effect results specifically from the controlled bonding of glass layers, which causes light to behave differently depending on the viewer's position and the ambient light source.
