Italian design piece composed of a satin-finished metal plate with a brushed finish in the center that frames a central structure of concentric rings in machined metal. At the core, blue glass elements provide depth and a vibrant play of light, generating an almost cosmic effect.

Its geometric composition and marked sculptural presence make it a true object of light art, representative of the best Italian Space Age design.

Angelo Brotto was a famed Italian artist and designer known worldwide for his work in glass work. He graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice in 1941. Immediately after, he was commissioned by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to paint frescoes in Montenegro. Throughout his career as a designer he won numerous awards, including those of Bergamo, Cremona, Suzzara and Verona. In the 1960s and 1970s, Brotto worked with the publishing house Esperia, breaking the rules stipulated until then in the field of lighting and creating new, completely transgressive models.
