A Decorative Kitchen with Beautiful Reflections
Venice, the Cradle of Glass Artistry──In 1317, a method for creating highly reflective mirrors by silvering the back of glass was invented in a Venetian glass workshop. This is the origin of modern mirrors, and it is said that Venetian artisans were also responsible for the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles.
Toyo Kitchen discovered a workshop in Venice that continues to produce mirrors to this day, and has realized a special design incorporating handmade mirrors.
The Interior Reflected Across the Entire Kitchen Surface Offers a Gentle, Deep Ambiance
The beautiful decorative patterns on the mirrors of the "INO Premium Venezia" are etched using the engraving technique, a form of "cold working" applied after the glass has hardened. This technique, which is not suitable for mass production, requires advanced artisan skill.
The mirror surface treatment employs a traditional method, meticulously applying silver by hand and further processing it to achieve an antique finish. The edges of the mirrors that envelop the kitchen are beveled, creating a three-dimensional aesthetic.
This kitchen, a veritable work of art born in Venice, reflects its surroundings and light, crafting an extraordinary experience.
