Dino Gavina and Lucio Fontana Wall Panel/ Mirror

Description
Dino Gavina was an Italian designer, entrepreneur, and publisher. He began his career in the 1940s working on stage sets. Visual arts were a great passion for Gavina. In 1960, Dino Gavina founded Gavina SpA, the company that would eventually manufacture the designs of the important Italian designers of the 1950s and 1960s, such as the Castiglioni brothers, Carlo and Tobia Scarpa, Cini Boeri, Vico Magistretti, and Mario Bellini; and in 1962, together with Cesare Cassina and industrialist Arturo Eisenkeil, Gavina founded FLOS, which is still one of the most important Italian lighting companies today.
Here we have a particular decorative panel with mirrored steel, as a result of reflections between Dino Gavina and Lucio Fontana on the elimination of the frames of the works, the original design is from 1962.
Fully original and in very good condition.
