Deadline - Memory Of A Lost Oval

The mirrors making up the Deadline collection by Ron Gilad are ingeniously designed hybrid objects, combining premier engineering and carpentry skills of the highest order.‎ Sixteen unique pieces, each set in its own black or white ashwood frame, each of which boasts a different texture and shape.‎ Every piece is composed of two sheets of glass, 12mm apart.‎ The front face is silvered, the back being coloured orange, blue, or red.‎ These colours are reflected in the second mirror, to create a subtle interplay of graphic shapes.‎ The frame comes apart so the mirrors can be cleaned.‎ It is fitted with high-profile joints, the better to emphasise that this is an example of Cassina craftsmanship.‎ The oblong, square, or rectangular frames highlight the difference between each option, reinforcing the idea of the unique nature of the work of art.‎
