Designed for furniture makers 'Tonelli Design,' this glass furniture line would be the perfect fit for a modern home.
The collection was designed by Cristina Celestino and is entitled 'Opalina' -- a play on the world "opaline," which once referred to the "off-white rose color" of crystals but now refers to any type of translucent or semi-translucent glass. The collection includes a dresser, a stool, a desk and a large circular mirror -- all of which are made up of or incorporate mostly glass elements. The dresser and table each comes with a mirror, while the collection's standalone mirror is enveloped by a sculptural shroud of glass.
This transparent glass furniture line represents home design in a way not usually seen. Opalina would make a good decorative addition to clean minimalist homes.
