Offering a different perspective on the world and ourselves, the unique wall mirror features a play on vanity awareness and pop aesthetics, making it as innovative as it is provocative. Breaking the boundaries of conventional wisdom, these extraordinary creations express noble geometric patterns, three-dimensional optical effects, and fantastical forms of expression thanks to their craftsmanship and carefully selected materials. Its traditional shape has been reinterpreted with originality by both designers and artists, which is why new mirrors are often produced by companies as capsule collections and sold in collectible design galleries. Born out of a process of research and experimentation, they seek out unexplored areas of contemporary space.

Grand Canal designed by Patricia Urquiola for Cimento
Sarah Mani
Inspired by Venice and its architecture, Grand Canal's mirror capsule collection was designed by Patricia Urquiola in her first collaboration with Cimento. Here, the Spanish designer has interpreted the innovation of the company known for its compounds of mineral aggregates (more than 90%) mixed with cement binders, creating surprising finishes and play of colors, as well as rough and smooth surfaces. Creates contrast between surfaces. In fact, for the first time, shards of inert materials such as glass and quartz are included in the paste, along with options for marble and cork blends. Ulquiorra also enjoys finishing. In the quartz she series it is half smooth and half sandblasted, and in the versions with different colored glass she inserts it is rough. Also available in Alpi Green Marble, Rosso di Verona Marble and two polished finishes with cork inserts. Finish with mica, a paste with golden metallic flecks. The other is a version that incorporates local natural debris recovered from the production area. The result is a product rich in multicolored inlays and decorative elements, with a visually recognizable and bold tactile feel.

Dry, linear shapes hide sophisticated details. The Memory Mirror series of modern wall mirrors, designed by Chris Martin of Sweden's Mass Production, features a curved reflective surface and a convenient hanging knob. The mirror, made in Italy from diamond-polished stainless steel in three sizes, is 3 centimeters thick and creates an elegant distance from the wall. Naturally, these mirrors are part of 'The Little Things' collection, where Chris Martin explores the smallest objects that are often taken for granted in his daily life. “I wanted to change the scale of what I normally design. It's a similar process to when I design furniture, and I found it to be the same struggle even with small objects. But… As the saying goes, the little things make a big difference, so the reward is worth it. I had heard that mirrored glass is not very good for the environment, so I did some research to get a reflective surface to replace it. We started with polished stainless steel. But this material wasn't just a surface; the whole design idea was based on what could be done with sheet steel,” says Martin.

Specchio D1 – FE – M 01, designed by Federica Elmo for Belo International
mateo bianchesi
Vero International leverages the rich treasure trove of Italian technology and manufacturing processes for conscious production rooted in Galatina, an artisanal center in the heart of Puglia. With these, the company breathes life into the circular mirror D1 – FE – M 01 designed by Federica Elmo, starting with thorough research on material hybridization and adding an emotional touch. The surface of the mirror therefore has a fluid, liquid-like appearance due to the technical treatment and deep red lacquer finish applied to the salvaged waste wood. The designer's idea was to divide the frame into smaller elements, achieving an organic silhouette while incorporating small sections of wood left over from overproduction.
