Glas Italia, a glass furniture maker globally acclaimed for its high-quality craftsmanship, marks its second consecutive year of collaboration with Tokujin Yoshioka, following the "LUMINOUS table" presented at last year's Milan Salone.

Yoshioka describes the PRISM mirror: "I envisioned creating mirrors with the transparency of a prism by facet-cutting glass. Their simple yet substantial forms will create intriguing expressions through the refraction of light, becoming sculptural pieces that radiate brilliance."
