Blue standing mirror by Studio ChristinekaliaDimensions: W 50 x D 90 x H 200 cmMaterials: Mirror, wood, burl veneer.This mirror piece acts as a natural diffuser in the living space. Both borrowing and reflecting, the design is a primitive arch, commonly found in surrealistic depictions, shaded in the colour of blue. Reflective glass combined with matte coloured veneer sheets make the design unique for any given space, from the intimacy of the bedroom to the liveliness of the living room.Christine Kalia is a design studio exploring modes of spatial relations between architectural, interior and product design. The studio’s vision is calibrated towards ecocentric design and contemporary aesthetics; where the end products manifest the prime materials. The various collections take different approaches to this design mode, often seen as sitting in-between reality and daydreaming. The “coming from” of each design’s unique materiality is carefully crafted towards a “belonging with”, where the sophisticated design of the studio’s products is complementing any environment, in order to elevate its aesthetic aura.Christine Petrou is the creative director and founder of Studio Christine Kalia since 2016. Born in Larnaca in 1990, she is a trained architect with studies in Cyprus and the United Kingdom. Through her practice, Christine reshapes often found materials into contemporary design pieces of domestic use, bringing nature closer to the human environment.
