An ethereal, almost surreal space: in the design of Ottica Ximenes, the distinguishing feature is achromatism. The Uto suspensions maintain aesthetic continuity both in the material and in the choice of colour, succeeding, despite the tone-on-tone hue, to emerge as protagonists of a space where white is perceived as an additive synthesis and not as a void.
