Mirror is a sales center interior created for a space with a low ceiling of 2.5 meters and limited natural light. Mirrored surfaces on the walls and ceiling reflect the interior and make the height appear to reach 5 meters or more. Walls of translucent jade glass, an eco-friendly recycled material, contain LED strips that spread a soft glow. Reflective stone and high-gloss lacquer add brightness. Thin jade stone panels join the walls and the ceiling without visible seams. The result is an open area for display, sales and client meetings.

- Unique Properties
- 1.Objective:
To create a sales office that serves as a showcase for displaying, selling, and facilitating interactions with clients.
2.Constraints:
The project has a low ceiling height of only 2.5 meters, resulting in limited vertical space, small floor area, dim indoor lighting, and poor natural light penetration. - Dimensions & Packaging
- 1.Jade Glass
It has the characteristics of 1. translucency, 2. wear resistance, 3. zero radiation, and 4. eco-friendly recycling. It also has low maintenance costs and good visual effects.
2.DEKTON Slim Jade Rock Slab
The maximum original size is 3300X1400mm, with a thickness of only 4MM. It greatly reduces the structural load, making it applicable in various places such as ceilings, cabinets, and walls, presenting a visual aesthetic that extends from the ground to the bar ceiling. - Tags

- Production Technology
- 1.Jade Glass
Jade glass is a special decorative material that combines the transparency of glass with the texture beauty of jade stone, creating a bright indoor environment.
2.Ceiling Panels: Dekton Slim Jade Stone Panels
Utilizing large-sized, lightweight, fusion, and recyclable Dekton Slim jade stone panels for ceiling and wall decoration, achieving seamless integration between the walls and ceilings, enhancing aesthetic appeal, and expanding the visual perception of space. - Design Challenge
- Challenge: A low ceiling of 2.5 meters, a compact space, and limited natural light result in dim illumination.
1.Mirror Reflection: Mirrors on walls and ceilings visually enlarge the area, offering a sense of spaciousness.
2.Translucent Jade Rock Slabs: These allow for improved light penetration, brightening and adding transparency to the space.
3.High Gloss Materials: Mirrored stone and high-gloss lacquer enhance light reflection, increasing brightness and expanding the visual space. - Project Duration
- The project began design in Shanghai, China, in May 2023 and was completed in Jiangxi Province, China, in February 2024.
- Operation Flow
- Transforming a sales office with a low ceiling height of 2.5 meters and a dimly lit space into a practical and aesthetically pleasing environment involves:
1.Utilizing the reflective effect of mirrors to virtually raise the ceiling height, making the interior visually more spacious.
2.By installing LED strip lights on translucent jade stone rock panel walls, a soft glow is created, beautifying the space while enhancing brightness. - Research
- By strategically placing mirrored materials throughout the space, they can reflect and extend the actual 2.5-meter ceiling height to appear as if it is 5 meters or even higher, greatly expanding the space's height visually. This makes the entire space look much more open.
- Inspiration
- 1.Mirror:
By reflecting through mirrors, it breaks through the height limitation, visually enlarging the space, reflecting a mere 2.5M ceiling height to 5 meters or more.
2.LightWall:
The walls are made of translucent jade glass (an eco-friendly recycled material), with LED strips installed inside. The light passing through the jade glass overcomes the dimness of the space.
3.High-gloss materials:
Reflective stone materials and bright lacquer finishes expand the visual effect of the space. - Image Credits
