About Beyond Prìomh Fheum: Sgàthan Làimhe

Teacsa an Leabhair: Is sgàthan làimhe a th' ann am Beyond a fhuair a bhrosnachadh bho sgàthan-sgiathain càir. Bidh sgàthan-sgiathan a' cuideachadh dràibhear le bhith a' faicinn raointean nach urrainn dha fhaicinn le fradharc àbhaisteach, agus tha Beyond a' giùlan an abairt Tha thu nas motha na tha thu a' nochdadh air uachdar an sgàthain. Tha an abairt a' toirt cuireadh do dhaoine smaoineachadh air an àilleachd a-staigh a tha nas fhaide na an coltas a th' orra. Tha an corp air a dhèanamh de fhiodh uinnsinn le crìoch siabainn, agus 's e siota acrylic a th' anns an sgàthan, air a chumadh le gearradh laser agus air a chomharrachadh le teacsa. Tha an cùl cruinn a' toirt faireachdainn mhìn don làimh, agus tha an sgàthan air a shuidheachadh beagan a-staigh don fhraidhe fiodha airson dìon nuair a chuirear an sgàthan sìos le aghaidh fodha.

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.
