COVES

Coves, the new collection of ceramic mirrors, is the first project of Guglielmo Poletti for Magis, bringing together craftsmanship and contemporary design in a timeless combination.

Inspired by the frames of the past, the product reworks the typical shape of the cove profile, translating it into an expression of elegant functionality. “A homage to and reinterpretation of the cove, an archetypal architectural feature widely used since the 17th century to create an elegant junction between ceilings and walls”, explains designer Poletti, “reinterpreted through the production technique of ceramic extrusion, chosen to both optimise the manufacturing process and reduce the mirrors’ overall weight.”

The distinctive feature of the project is, in fact, the concave profile of the frame, whose configuration allows to achieve a small shelf integrated into the mirror. This detail enhances not only its aesthetic qualities but also its versatility, allowing to hang each mirror both vertically and horizontally, depending on context or preference.

Produced entirely in Nove, a city famous for the production of decorative ceramics, the collection consists of three mirrors, two rectangular (60x80 cm) and one square (60x60 cm), in three colours with a glossy finish. Each mirror is finished and painted entirely by hand, in total harmony with the spirit of Magis: once again, cutting-edge industrial techniques meet the brand’s exceptional craftsmanship.

Lastly, in the interest of sustainability, its method of assembly is designed to be completely glue-free: the mirrors can be easily disassembled to replace any part if necessary, promoting the product’s longevity and facilitating the recycling process at the end of its lifespan.

Coves is the expression of an intelligent and visionary design that draws on the past in order to leap into the future.
