Dusk/dawn mirror by Minale-Maeda

Minale-Maeda
Dusk/dawn Mirror, 2010

Designed by the Japanese studio Minale-Maeda in 2010, it is an innovative piece that transforms the traditional concept of a mirror. Its design is inspired by the reflection of the sky on a pool of water, offering different visual experiences depending on its orientation. When hung one way, it reflects the hues of dusk; when flipped, it evokes the colors of dawn. Blending functionality with poetic expression, this design invites users to engage with the passage of time through its changing reflections.

Dusk/dawn mirror by Minale-Maeda for Droog was named one of the best domestic designs in the seventh Wallpaper* Design Awards in 2011.
