DESIGN BOX – The colourful and minimalist acrylic sculptures of Vasa Mihich, an American artist of Yugoslavian origin, are the eclectic inspiration for the Rainbow Table, a unique piece that marks a new research on transparencies by Draga & Aurel. The artists have recovered a marble base from the 1980s designed by Maurizio Cattelan, which has been reinterpreted with the addition of brand-new acrylics on top: a composition of strips of colour with irregular geometries that, thanks to different cuts, capture and refract light, restoring beautiful reflections and nuances.

“This piece was born after a moment of creative suffering: I called it Rainbow because it was like a rainbow after the storm. It is lightness, relief, joy: in a few words, LIGHT”, says Draga Obradovic.
