| The broad, flat segments of the nopales, the “prickly pear” cactus, have long been a staple of Mexican cuisine. Now they are a staple of this playful decorative series by Florentine designer Marta Sansoni. Her stainless steel compilation of these blades makes an airy pattern that bends and shapes the light as it passes through, making each of her objects as playful as they are functional. See how the Cactus illuminates this festive tray, adding a delicate warmth and allure to the objects it displays, a beauty that is at once both understated and breathtaking. |
