Over time dark spots start to appear on mirrors. The silver layer is slowly oxidizing under the influence of oxygen and water, thereby showing some of its history. This process can be regarded as degradation, however this project shows the beauty of this material transition of silver. The Transience Mirrors designed by Lex Pott and David Derksen (this model icw Nicemakers) reveal different states of oxidation through an accelerated process. All mirrors are handmade and the oxidation patterns look slightly different on each piece. This roughness in oxidation and the clean geometrical aesthetics make each design mirror truly unique and beautiful. This item is a bit rough oxidized in the purple pattern, a result of the production process. The color pattern is reversed in reference of the product pictures. It's brand new and very beautiful (regular price is 2590 EU). It's in a solid wooden crate and shipped from the warehouse abroad, so that's the reason the shipment costs are quite high (also for NL).
