Vitrail

"With a mirror you can see yourself, but above all you can liven up a wall and light up a room, as if it were a window or a lamp always left on.‎ In antique shops you can often find what we know as Venetian mirrors, in which the central glass is surrounded by other smaller pieces of mirror, a simple and attractive way to both frame and reflect.‎ I wanted to develop this idea in the Vitrail collection, combining clear and coloured mirrors.‎ I created mirrors made up of several pieces in contrasting colours.‎ They are held together by an injection moulded rubber frame: its softness allows the fragments to be inserted into the triangular gaps in the thin rubber structure.‎ Vitrail comes in four different formats which can be hung horizontally or vertically.‎ The collection includes a small square, a large rectangle, and an oval, all made up of a large, clear, central mirror decorated with two coloured fragments.‎ These versions are injected in both colours; each one features a distinctive combination of lateral mirrors.‎ The fourth model is round, and is divided into five strips.‎ It comes in two contrasting versions: a light grey frame with fragments of pastel green glass, and a green frame with fragments of mirror fading from black through to light grey.‎ It can be hung in three ways: horizontally, vertically or diagonally.‎ Vitrail comes in a total of eight different versions.‎" (Inga Sempé)
