The MIROIR chair represents a bold and conceptual approach to furniture design. Departing from conventional functionalist principles, this seat embraces geometric rigor and perceptual experimentation.
Contemporary and distinctive, it stands out through a strong visual identity, balancing formal precision with conceptual depth. Geometric form and optical illusion the structure of the MIROIR chair is based on perfectly aligned symmetry: a square seat measuring 34 x 34 cm is paired with a circular backrest 25 cm in diameter, both connected by polished mirror-finish stainless steel tubes. This highly reflective material interacts with its surroundings, producing visual echoes and engaging with architectural lines to create an immersive spatial effect. The mirrored finish allows for a dual reading of the object — at once functional furniture and reflective sculpture — blurring the line between design and art.
By blending minimalist geometry with abstract expression, the chair challenges traditional furniture design norms and rethinks the relationship between the user, the object, and its environment. Versatile in function, singular in form
Its sculptural silhouette and reflective finish make it both a decorative and functional object, capable of transforming the perception of the space it occupies.
