Paint Mirrors Collection by Paulineplusluis.

Paulineplusluis has released a collection of mirrors in collaboration with Belgian brand and manufacturer Deknutd Mirrors. The Belgian design studio, led by Pauline Capdo and Luis Bellenger creates lighting, objects and furniture projects that are driven by the duo’s natural curiosity to explore materials and manufacturing processes.

The inspiration for this project came from the production process of the mirrors. The exercise involves pouring liquid silvering onto a glass plate before being fixed by a protective layer printed at the back.

Magnificent Mirrors.

These shiny, reflective and often sculptural objects are not only alluring as physical items. Mirrors are also deeply linked to symbolism, myths and legends, which explains our eternal fascination with them.

“We focused on the fluid aspect of the mirror that is for us very poetic, almost magical,” the duo elaborate. “The idea was to paint a mirror on a glass plate, making an analogy between the liquid silvering and paint applied with a brush.”

The studio’s work is driven by the will to bring an oneiric dimension to our everyday life through simple and poetic objects. Inspired by objects, shapes and moments that are part of our collective imagination, their approach to product design creates a sense of warmth and surreal déjà vu that is not unlike a dream.
