Lando Il Lanciatore di Coltelli Mirror Designed by Nicola Gisonda

The Il Lanciatore di Coltelli mirror, designed by Nicola Gisonda for Lando, offers an original interpretation of the classic wall piece, drawing on circus imagery to bring an evocative and theatrical language into everyday interiors.

Within the composition, the reflective surface comes to life through extra-clear crystal plates set perpendicularly, recalling the knives arranged around a performer in action. This solution creates a precise visual rhythm, further enhanced by warm LED backlighting that emphasises the depth of the cuts and produces a soft glow, conceived to establish a harmonious dialogue between material and surrounding shadows. The plates feature 45° or 90° edge finishes, a detail that highlights the accuracy of workmanship and celebrates the purity of the crystal. The mirror’s structure, gently leaning at 5° against the wall, contributes to a controlled scenic presence suitable for residential spaces as well as broader settings where a distinctive element can shape the perception of the room.

Solid walnut or oak, used in substantial thickness for the base and backing, embraces the reflective surface and introduces a tactile component that balances the crystal’s luminosity. The refined finishes underscore the object’s artisanal quality, turning it into a furnishing element that merges technique, narrative intention and expressive character.
