The mirror with a briccole oak frame, while slightly deviating from the traditional theme of Alpine design, represents a magnificent example of how materials worked by time can enrich and adapt perfectly to the environment of mountain homes. This mirror is a tribute to the city of Venice, a unique piece that encompasses the history and beauty of one of the most fascinating cities in the world.
Made with Briccola oak, the wood used for the frame comes directly from the Venetian briccole, wooden structures that mark the navigable paths in the Venetian lagoon. The oak, after years spent immersed in the brackish waters of the lagoon, is recovered and transformed, bringing with it unique signs and nuances that tell its maritime history. These characteristics make each mirror an unrepeatable piece, a true symbol of the cultural and environmental heritage of Venice.
Although the mirror has a design that stands out from the classic Alpine aesthetic, the wood worked over time and its imperfections fit harmoniously into the context of mountain houses, where the reference to nature and history is always present. The mirror is inserted between two Briccola oak boards, evoking the mirror of the water of a mountain stream, creating a play of reflections and lights that recalls the movement of the water.
This design element not only increases brightness and broadens the perception of space, but adds a touch of poetry and magic, reflecting the surrounding environment and creating a parallel between the historicity of Venice and the rusticity of mountain homes.
In conclusion, the mirror with oak frame from Briccole is a brilliant example of how the recovery of historical materials can be reinterpreted in a modern way. An object that, while slightly deviating from traditional Alpine design, integrates perfectly into the warm and welcoming atmosphere of mountain homes, adding a touch of elegance and history.
