Reflections, fictitious perspectives, and fictitious shadows are all part of BuzziMirage. Because they are built on false impressions and muddled perceptions, the mirrors serve as a "trompe l'oeil." "It's a debate about materials, realism, and virtuality," says the designer. "But, above all, BuzziMirage is about building its own small world," designer Alain Gilles explains.
The offset between the arch-shaped mirror and its support gives the illusion of depth and an open door or window. The design plays with depth and light by combining multiple materials — a metal or wood arching frame with a glass mirror — to create new vanishing points.
Virtual reality
The aim of BuzziMirage is to create virtual openings and new vanishing points in spaces to generate new dynamics and enlarge the area.
Two sizes
The small mirror might be placed in a hall to serve as a tray. The thin shelf can accommodate keys and all sorts of small items you carry in your pockets. The big mirror gives the impression of a large door opening towards another world.
