Strata
Æ//
The Strata Mirror is a bold reimagining of the conventional mirror. Composed entirely of layered sheet glass, it employs the very substance of the mirror to create a self-contained, multifaceted frame. At the core of the design, the central sheet of mirror glass is a perfect square. Each additional layer of glass is meticulously cut to a slightly different size, allowing their edges to subtly protrude and create a stepped profile. This technique results in a dynamic interplay of light and reflection, with the protruding edges becoming a distinctive ornamental feature.
By using extra-clear mirror glass, the layered edges achieve an almost transparent quality, introducing a striking contrast between transparency and reflection. In essence, the mirror frames itself, turning the typically overlooked boundary into a focal point of visual interest.
For the making of this object, we worked closely together with Wouter Lievens, master glass maker.
