pirouette - Wall mirror - mirror - getaway

Tired of running away from pollution? And what if the plastic that infests our oceans finally found itself at the center of all our attention? It’s by making this bet that we chose to install recycled plastic at the center of the mirror. Thus, Humans are no longer at the center of attention and are forced to shift aside to see their reflection.

As stated, the mirror is pierced in its center. On the front face, a circle of 150 mm in diameter, made from recycled plastic, runs across the mirror to help hold it more securely. This circle is sculpted in a wave shape to evoke the origin of this material. At the back, another plate of recycled plastic is fixed and allows mounting to the wall without damaging the mirror. This mounting is finally secured by two Z-brackets, facilitating installation.

The design studio "pirouette." conceptualized, imagined and drew this object, then handled the assembly and sculpting of the plastic. The recycled plastic was shaped by "La Plastiquerie", from plastic recovered from the ocean. The cutting of the plastic and that of the mirror were carried out by two companies in the south of France. The "Galerie des Curiosités" is the origin of this collaboration.
