Leon Battista

Design

Leon Battista plays with perspective in a way that feels deliberate, not decorative. The shape creates an artificial “sfondato” effect, like the surface is opening up and pulling the eye inward. It’s a mirror that changes the room’s geometry without asking for attention the whole time.

The frame converges as it rises, and each side shifts in width and inclination. That asymmetry is the point. Reflections don’t land in a single, predictable plane; they break, overlap, and re-form. And because it can be hung in any direction, the mood can be adjusted just by rotating it.

Materials & build

The frame is made in mirrored glass, so the border isn’t just a perimeter. It becomes part of what’s reflected, adding extra angles and a little visual friction. The build relies on clean lines and precise joins, letting the irregular geometry read as intentional rather than busy.

Designed by Laudani & Romanelli, the piece stays focused on one idea: perspective through mirrored surfaces. There are no custom options for Leon Battista, which keeps the proportions and the original concept intact.

Everyday use

In use, it’s less about a perfectly “true” reflection and more about what happens around it. The center offers a clear view, while the fragmented perimeter catches movement, light, and parts of the space that would normally sit outside the frame. It brings energy to a hallway or bedroom without needing color or pattern.

But it still works as a practical mirror. The distortions stay at the edges, so the experience is balanced: functional first, with a controlled sense of surprise.

Placement & lifestyle

Three sizes make it easy to scale to the room. The largest measures about 33.5" L x 4.3" W x 78.7" H, a strong vertical presence for an entry or dressing area. The mid size is about 28.3" L x 4.3" W x 40.2" H, ideal above a console. The smallest comes in at roughly 20.5" L x 3.9" W x 28.3" H, a sharp accent for tighter walls.

Because it can be oriented in any direction, it adapts to how the space is used. Turn it and the reflections shift. In a minimal interior, it adds complexity. In a layered interior, it edits the scene into something more graphic.

Longevity

Mirrored glass holds its look when it’s treated with care. Regular, gentle cleaning keeps the surface crisp, and the faceted frame won’t lose its impact over time because the design depends on geometry, not trend. In the right spot, Leon Battista from glasitalia stays relevant simply by continuing to reflect the room in a smarter way.
