UNVEILING THE HIDDEN LEGACY OF MIRROR DESIGN
TRANSFORMING SPACES
The Vanity Mirror 2, with its two panels, boasts hinges that facilitate a 180-degree rotation.It's designed for use in all rooms in the home outside the bathroom, including those where mirrors might not be typically featured. The design thus brings both clean contemporary elegance and an unusual versatility and interactivity to any space or style, with a gentle but reverent nod to history woven in.
PRECISION IN MOTION
Hinges are a principal feature of the Vanity Mirror. As well as incorporating the fixtures for wall mounting and support, the hinges allow the panels to be angled by the user, changing the look and light in the room as they like. The panels fold flat over each other, effectively ‘closing’ the mirror when not in use.
The hinges themselves are finished in brass, which pairs beautifully with the warmth of the hand-crafted walnut veneer used on the panels. Created bespoke for the Vanity Mirror Collection, the hinges require the highest degree of precision in order to achieve the necessary tolerances (just one-tenth of a millimeter) and ensure a satisfyingly smooth but reassuringly controlled motion.
VANITY MIRROR COLLECTION
GAMFRATESI
GamFratesi has been working with GUBI since the inception of its studio, and the collaboration has produced some of its most admired modern designs, beginning with the Beetle Chair, and including the IOI Wall Mirror – another perfect marriage of function and decoration. Drawing on their dual heritage, Italian Enrico Fratesi and Danish Stine Gam share GUBI’s ability to synthesize seemingly opposing ideas – the classic and the contemporary, the intellectual and the sensorial, the crafted and the engineered. These defining juxtapositions – and the explorative material curiosity that animates their design practice – are brilliantly exemplified in the Vanity Mirror Collection.
