The collaboration between RIFLETTO and Liceo Artistico Statale (Art school) “Paolo Toschi” situated in Parma has initiated the competition “Progetto&Rifletto” aimed at students of the prestigious Art Institute. The aspiring designers will have to design creative and original forms for the new collection of the RIFLETTO series of stainless steel mirrors. The use of stainless steel in the production of interior décor mirrors is an important novelty in the design sector, and allows to unite the legendary Italian taste for elegant pieces of furniture with the technological Excellency in high quality manufacturing.

This artist from Fidenza, who trained at the ‘Accademia di Belle Art’ (Art Academy) of Brera and was awarded a diploma from the Art school of Bologna, has also studied under the ‘maestro’ Gabriele Calzetti and will now work with RIFLETTO on a project for the development of the interior décor mirrors.

Testa is working on forms which draw inspiration from his ten years of professional experience, which range between iconography of classical art decoration to the provocation of contemporary and pop art.

Rifletto’s creations are realized in stainless steel, a material of extraordinary characteristics which through metalworking and chromatic treatment is loaded with great personality.

The elasticity of stainless steel, the durability and high resistance both to corrosion and fire make it suitable for multiple uses.

Rifletto enhances the physical and mechanical properties through the working process. From the design to the final realization, we study the best solutions to interpret the steel, giving it style and emotions.

For Rifletto using stainless steel is a sign of responsibility towards the environment: its highly ecological, in fact stainless steel can be recycled endless times without losing its characteristics.

We personally select the stainless steel using qualified steel plants, certified in using excellent Quality , Environmental and Safety Systems. Only in this way can we be sure to guarantee a creation which indefinitely maintains the extraordinary innate characteristics of stainless steel.

The uniqueness of the Rifletto creations is also guaranteed by the continuous research and selection of prestigious finishing and colorings. From the mirror polishing, to the coloring technologies, from various depth etching to the characteristic satin finishes such as Scotch brite and Hairline, to the finishes covered in 24-carat gold: the range of possible solutions is potentially endless (*).

As natural and instinctive as an emotion, every Rifletto creation is a declaration of style: the materials and finishes chosen for every object naturally reflect the personality and character of the person who conceived the idea behind it.
