About Beyond Mirall de mà

Beyond és un mirall de mà inspirat en el retrovisor lateral d'un cotxe. Un retrovisor ajuda el conductor a veure zones més enllà de la seva visió normal, i Beyond porta la frase Ets més del que aparentes gravada a la superfície del mirall. La frase convida les persones a considerar la seva bellesa interior més enllà de l'aparença. El cos està fet de fusta de freixe amb acabat de sabó, i el mirall és una làmina acrílica tallada amb làser i marcada amb el text. El dors arrodonit ofereix una sensació suau a la mà, i el mirall queda lleugerament encastat dins el marc de fusta per protegir-lo quan es col·loca cap avall.

Unique Properties
It is a hand mirror inspired by a wing mirror. Like a phrase on the wing mirror 'Objects in mirror are closer than they appear', a phrase 'You are more than you appear' is marked on the surface of the mirror. It takes people to think about their own beauty inside beyond their appearance. With a generous volume shape on the back, it gives a gentle feeling when they are in hand. The mirror is placed slightly inside so it is protected by a wood rim when it is turned over.
Dimensions & Packaging
96 × 69 x 25 mm

Production Technology
It consists of two parts. The wood part is ashwood with a soap finish and the mirror part is an acrylic mirror with laser cutting and text marking.
Design Challenge
It was challenging to create a simple and concise phrase transition from the original one while keeping its essence. It also took a long journey to find a satisfactory volume shape in both situations when gripped by hand and placed on the table. After all, those challenges allowed me to go further than I expected.
Research
As this hand mirror is linked to the wing mirror of the car, I tried to find the most general characteristic of the wing mirror. Afterward, the shape was refined through the iteration of sketches and model making.
Inspiration
One time I got into a car, a wing mirror caught my eye. It helps the driver to see areas beyond the driver’s peripheral vision. I wondered what if a hand mirror also can reflect beyond our appearance.
Project Duration
The project started in July 2020 and finished in January 2021 in Seoul.
Operation Flow
The ash wood gives natural warmth and lightweight on hand with shock resisting density and hardness.
