new: diamond mirror

diamond.jpg
i’m a big fan of piet houtenbos‘ work (he was the lead designer behind modernlink’s gorgeous bamboo furniture) so it was no surprise that i’m now a huge fan of his independent designs- starting with this intricately beveled mirror called “diamond mirror”. unlike most mirrors, the diamond mirror is made with laboratory quality glass and coated with a thin layer of silver to produce an ‘optical white’ effect, rather than the greenish tint that most mirrors have. if you’re interested in checking out piet’s latest design just click here.

for anyone who deals with classic migraines, this looks a lot like a visual aura/scintillating scotoma!
but the technology sounds cool.

Whoa, I didn’t think I’d like this, but upon further reflection (har har) I do!

Wow, I’ll bet we’re all sort of missing how special this mirror is, because we’re just viewing it online. It must amazing, and the shape is great, too.
