Brasilia by Campana Brothers. Here’s a beautiful way of extending the life of old, discarded or broken mirrors, since the chemical coating applied to them during manufacturing makes them impossible to recycle [though apparently metal mirrors can be recycled with scrap metal in some areas]. The Brazilian Campana Brothers explain that “the brilliant colours pay tribute to their native country and the stony land upon which the city of Brasilia, the capital of Brazil was erected.” Each piece of glass was applied by hand and definitely worth the effort. Simply stunning.
