I see I see what you don’t see.
I see an object, a consumer item, a piece of furniture design. I see myself, my surroundings, light and reflection.
Mirrors are no longer just an object. They are a surface, a material, that you can use to design withand create new shapes, perceptions and surroundings.
Lately, we see more and more often mirrored furniture and objects (and also in fashion). The mirrors will retain their original function but at the same time they add a new dimension to what they reflect. By playing with ‘Surface reflections’ the designers ensure that their influence goes beyond the furniture or the product. For instance, the designer affects the whole environment in which the object is placed. Mirros become more than the piece of equipment they were once before, they are transformed into art, furniture and objects that reflects both the users and the environment and it shows it from a different angle.
