The Design

About Beyond Ručné zrkadlo

Beyond je ručné zrkadlo inšpirované bočným spätným zrkadlom auta. Bočné zrkadlo pomáha vodičovi vidieť oblasti mimo bežného zorného poľa a Beyond nesie na povrchu zrkadla nápis Si viac, než sa zdáš. Táto veta pozýva ľudí, aby zvážili svoju vnútornú krásu presahujúcu ich vzhľad. Telo je vyrobené z jaseňového dreva s mydlovou povrchovou úpravou a zrkadlo je z akrylátovej fólie tvarovanej laserovým rezaním a označenej textom. Zaoblený zadný diel poskytuje v ruke príjemný pocit a zrkadlo je mierne zapustené do drevného rámu, čo ho chráni, keď je zrkadlo položené lícom nadol.

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.
