About Beyond Handspegill
Beyond er handspegill innblásinn af hliðarspegli bifreiðar. Hliðarspegill hjálpar bílstjóra að sjá svæði utan eðlilegs sjónsviðs, og Beyond ber setninguna You are more than you appear á spegilfletinum. Setningin hvetur fólk til að hugleiða innri fegurð sína, umfram ytra útlit. Yfirbyggingin er úr askviði með sápuáferð, og spegillinn er úr akrýlplötu sem er löguð með laserskurði og merkt með texta. Rúnnað bakið gefur milda tilfinningu í hendi, og spegillinn er felldur örlítið inn í trérammann til varnar þegar honum er lagt niður með spegilhliðina niður.

Behind the Design

- 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.
