SPERA By Poltronova
Collection: Ofelia, Spera e Vanitas
Designer: Superstudio
Manufacture year: 1967
Type: Table-top Nero Marquina marble mirror/ photo holder
Spera is part of a series of small mirrors and a photo holder by Superstudio. The series began with the idea of using scraps from the processing of marble. An operation of bricolage, rather than creation, as the Florence-based group stated at the time. Careful milling of the irregular marble piece makes it become the precious support for a sheet of methacrylate to use as a photo frame. Ofelia, Spera and Vanitas, ahead of their time, represent a project of transformation capable of granting a new, refined aesthetic to industrial scrap. Materials: Fluorescent orange–magenta PMMA and marble Colors: Opaque panel: white Transparent panel: fluorescent orange/magenta Base: Nero Marquina
