MIRROR, MIRROR

We were approached by Warby Parker with a unique prompt: to transform the hand mirror. A design initiative meant to reimagine this classic typology, material and fabrication were up to us, the only constraint being that the mirror remain functional and lightweight enough for everyday use. We’re excited to share the final product, which utilizes material, physics, and craft to create a functional and sculptural object.
We sought to make a piece that was both useful in the hand and interesting on the table, and honored our practice of creating conversation around material and process.
Production and prototyping took place in our Studio shop. Physical prototyping is an important part of our approach, and allows the inherent properties of each material to inform the finished product. Watch as Hannah connects the dots between the machines - from the drill press to the jump shear - to create our mirror, which relies on every part to create a coherent, balanced whole.

The mirrors were put to the test in Warby
Parker’s New York and Los Angeles stores,
after which they were auctioned off to support
Free Arts, which offers free arts education to
underserved kids and teens in both cities.
