The complex textured surface of gold and silver furniture, accessories and light bulbs reminds of the Trojan finds of Heinrich Schliemann, the cave of Ali Baba and the treasures of the distant seas. In order not to become obsolete, gold and silver had to pretend to be antiques this season. "Antique" silver and gold cover, as a rule, avant-garde items in form and function - for example, a simple rectangular chest of drawers (Mondo) [1] or lamp [2]which would be easiest to imagine in the glass version (Penta).
