Refract

Refract


The kaleidoscope creates blurs of colours and ever-evolving reflections, much like the memories that, over time, fade and blend with different perceptions. This novel parallelism is the basis of Tact & Trace mirrors and Refract vases, the collection of resin objects marking the first collaboration between Tacchini and the studio Objects of Common Interest. To evoke this effect, both the material and the shapes become essential: the coloured and semi-transparent resin creates dynamic plays of shades and shadows, while the prismatic shapes lend a timeless, gentle note to the mirrors and vases. Thus, each creation becomes a tactile reflection on the beauty of memory, fragile and fleeting like the colours and figures that transform following the movements of a kaleidoscope. The Tact & Trace mirrors emerge from the memory of Eleni Petaloti — co-founder, along with Leonidas Trampoukis, of the studio — who, recalling a crystal piece once owned by her grandparents, began experimenting with prismatic shapes. The essence of crystal is thus reinterpreted into contemporary mirrors that reflect the light, shape, and emotions that have always moved her. Building upon this approach with different scales and perspectives, the Refract vases are also born. These coloured vases are made with particular attention to sustainability by reusing the resin from the mirror production process.
