Presenting OBSIDIA, an unusual mirror object. A touching point between materiality and its finishing.
Despite always being associated with darkness and gloom, this darkest hue with a glossy finish takes on a new surprising character and ability: to mirror its surroundings.
As history teaches, long ago people used to see their reflections in dark water. Eventually, they started creating their first mirrors using a black, polished volcanic stone called obsidian.
In this case, still honoring history through its name, OBSIDIA is processed using modern techniques from the automotive industry. The mirror’s outline is inspired by car silhouettes while its manufacture is given by a handmade process of different layers of paint, each polished with meticulous care and attention.
