BuzziMirage
The Art of Illusion. BuzziMirage is about reflections, false perspectives and fake shadows. The mirrors act as a “trompe l’oeil” since they are based on false impressions and confused perceptions. “It’s a discussion between materials, reality and virtuality. But, above all BuzziMirage is about creating a little world of its own,” says designer Alain Gilles.
The offset between the arch-shaped mirror and its support creates sense of depth and false impression that a door or window is open. The design combines various materials — a metal or wood arched frame, paired with a glass mirror — to play with depth and light, creating new vanishing points.
The large version is an arched wall mirror that gives the impression that a door is opening towards another world and broader perspective. The small mirror can be placed in the hall to create the illusion of a window, while serving as a catchall tray.
