“I liked the notion of a tiny mirror that could be both dealt with or positioned on a surface,” Diaz told Dezeen. “I wanted it to operate when positioned on surfaces that you frequently discover in a house at diverse heights, this kind of as a side table, a mantelpiece or a shelf.”
“We did far more than 40 versions to examine the angles have been right,” he additional. “The centre of gravity of the object modifications when you flip it, so we needed to make certain it was secure and would not fall back on any of the 4 positions. The bodyweight also assisted to accomplish this.”
Diaz’s prior projects consist of the Loop bottle opener for Area, and his silicon two-in-a single candle holder created for Spanish brand Doiy.
