I used to be able to waste so much time gazing mesmerized into a kaleidoscope, that's why it doesn't surprise me so much that someone was inspired by that childhood toy to create the Mirror Image collection.
That someone was Eindhoven grad Lotte van Wulfften Palthe. The Mirror Image series is mainly comprised of neon yellow and white plastic water jugs that were mirrored off of their original design. Pretty neat, right?
