Les grands trans-Parents is a mirror of 1938, signed by the great photographer Man Ray for Simon by Cassina brand. An enigmatic play on words for a mirror that is a work of art. Les grands trans-Parents is an elliptical mirror polished edge screen printed with hard polyurethane backing. Designed by Man Ray in 1938, was edited by Simon Cassina in 1971 and bears the imprint of a phrase deliberately, who wants to create confusion in the actual translation. "Large" is "transparent", that is, that the most obvious things are often invisible to the eyes, and this is the only fact that the painter, photographer and film director exponent of Dadaism, has revealed.
American painter, photographer and designer, Man Ray was one of the most radical and multifaceted representatives of Dadaism and Surrealism. During the 1920s and 1930s he worked in Paris mainly as a photographer. He then developed a passion for experimenting with new forms, achieving innovative results with the airbrush, photographic film and design. He gave life to artworks such as Les Grands Trans-Parents, an elliptical mirror with a shiny wire screen-printed produced by Cassina in 1938.
Cassina bought the trademark of Simon Gavina two historic brands that carry on the history of Italian design. The fundamental concept of the company, founded in 1968, is to continue to think and produce pieces of furniture that have created the roots of the culture of design, furnishings that are now timeless classics that have established a dialogue between artistic research and production - Collection Ultramobile -and they have exceeded the limits of rationalism elevating the project to the great traditional values - Collection Ultrarazionale. The collections include works by artists such as Carlo Scarpa, Marcel Breuer, Kazuhide Takahama, Tobia Scarpa, Man Ray and Meret Oppenheim. The result is a perfect combination that allows the rich and historical works of poetry, revive and give more passion to the history of design.
