Urban Mirror
Urban Mirror
FurnitureDesigned for Metalco by Davide Anzalone and Alberto Mattiello, Urban Mirror is much more than a collection of street furniture. It is a tribute to the “selfie generation” and as much as to all those who practice mindfulness and want to look inside themselves to see beyond. It proves that everything we do is a self-portrait and every moment is a diary. It embodies the ability of reflective surfaces to create innovative social languages and makes the mirror – that has always been a fundamental indoor design object – a “key” element for outdoor environments. Urban Mirror is designed not only to amplify the architectural or natural beauty of the surrounding places, but also to bring new energy and promote interaction and freedom of expression, transforming traditional places into meeting points and
making the urban space a “stage” for street artists, local events and sports workouts. The entire collection has been created to integrate elements and accessories: from bike racks to benches inspired by the “frame”, everything is designed to initiate a dialogue, to inspire movement and to give as many people as possible a reason to spend their time outdoor.
