Mirror
Design: mischer'traxler
Manufacturer: mischer'traxler studio
The vase and mirror are objects in a series that emerged from an experimental arrangement that recycles industrial metal without subjecting it to a melting process. In the process, aluminium waste is pressed into moulds that contain functional details such as slots and joints. To create uniformity and stability, they are covered with a layer of aluminium. They serve as a base and can be supplemented with further pieces of aluminium to create objects of use.
