About Beyond Drych Llaw

Mae Beyond yn ddrych llaw wedi'i ysbrydoli gan ddrych ochr car. Mae drych ochr yn helpu gyrrwr i weld ardaloedd y tu hwnt i olwg arferol, ac mae Beyond yn cario'r ymadrodd Rwyt ti'n fwy nag wyt ti'n ymddangos ar wyneb y drych. Mae'r ymadrodd yn gwahodd pobl i ystyried eu harddwch mewnol y tu hwnt i'w hymddangosiad. Gwneir y corff o bren onnen gyda gorffeniad sebon, ac mae'r drych yn ddalen acrylig wedi'i siapio drwy dorri laser a'i farcio â thestun. Mae'r cefn crwn yn rhoi teimlad tyner yn y llaw, a gosodir y drych ychydig y tu mewn i ymyl y pren er mwyn amddiffyn pan osodir y drych wyneb i waered.

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
Tags: Hand mirror, Mirror, Ash, Object, Design, Industrial Design
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.
