The
Orbit is a reflective artwork, first piece of the Griffée
Collection, a set of glass mirrors inspired by different graphic
effects found in Nature designed and self-produced by the Italian
London-based duo 06D Atelier. The glass surface is treated like a
canvas thanks to an innovative material removal machining process to
convey the designers' gesture into different expression at each
model, the result is a breakup of the two-dimensional space,
reflecting all the surroundings thanks to refraction and distortion
effects.
The
Orbit is a round reflecting piece with grooves representing the
concentric pattern common in several structures in the Nature: from
the propagation of waves to the concentric rings in the tree trunks
and the paths traced by planets in the space.
“We
decided to investigate a new process that led us to an unexplored
language, then we started to replicate the chaotic and ruled patterns
of the Nature on a mirrored glass surface, the result is a collection
of different models we called Griffée [scratched from the French].” 06D Atelier (Francesca Adami and Mauro Fragiotta)
