The ‘Aluminium Mirror’ is made of a single piece of aluminium – first CNC-milled, then polished. It can be wall-mounted in four different positions. 

The front of the 5kg-mirror is angled to create different reflections and compositions based on from which angle it is hung. The mirror is very easily recyclable because it consists of only one raw material, ready to be made into something different.

'Blur' by Big_Game

The Swiss/Begian/French designers of Big-Game recently presented their ‘Blur’ collection. It consists of  a vase, two mirrors, three tables and four lamps, which are playing with the notion of blurriness. Erasing bits of reality, the series is composed of meticulously materialized objects celebrating the disappearance of materiality.

The mirror with a silkscreened white gradient makes one’s reflection disappear gradually.

The glass dome is an archetype used to show, protect and sacralise a fragile or precious object. Here, it becomes a glowing shape in frosted white glass that illuminates its surroundings rather than shows its content. As if the fetish had vanished into smoke.
