Scaled Denso Mirror, Large by Federica Elmo
Designed by Federica Elmo for the Italian brand Vero, this mirror reflects the studio’s interest in material experimentation and process-led design. The frame comes together using six reclaimed wood modules, making use of production off-cuts and introducing a subtle mechanical rhythm against the mirror’s softer outline. Reflected in the glass, those segments repeat into a layered, architectural moment that feels smart and considered.
Starting from a thorough research on the hybridization of materials, the mirror reflects an emotional reaction applied to a surface, an exchange that turns into a liquid, fluid substance that loses its connotations while acquiring attractiveness and sensuality thanks to the technical treatment and the applied finish. The idea to break the frame into small elements, and give each of them attention, derives from the desire to recover processing waste, as this treatment facilitates the use of smaller pieces of wood in excess from production. The design of the interrupted frame, composed of six different elements, adds a semi-robotic element to the design, in strong contrast to the organic silhouette. The frame modules are reflected into the mirror and thus give life to a complex architecture completed by the multiplications of the same image.
Please note: As true handmade and crafted objects, Vero’s products might present some imperfections and differences from one another; these are not flaws, but rather, distinctive and charming details that make each product unique.
