Multidisciplinary firm Archive for Space works together with London-based design imprint Béton Brut on a set of wall-mounted mirrors. There are two mirrors comprised of the collaboration and each one is made from stainless steel materials with a silver metallic finish. 001 can be placed in either landscape or portrait variations or suspended from the ceiling or walls with four standard sizes. 002 comes in two standard sizes and four hanging orientations.
The brand shares, "Mirror 001 treats stainless steel with fabric-like fluidity. Rolled hems allow the mirror to be hung on two slim wires, trading the stiffness of metal for a sense of weightlessness and gentle movement. Mirror 002 has a kidney-shaped form that challenges the industrial character of stainless steel. The frame, which protrudes for a dynamic profile, is brushed to juxtapose the polished steel mirrored surface."

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Fabric-fluidity in Design
- The incorporation of fabric-like fluidity into stainless steel offers a unique blend of materials and usages never before seen in traditional mirror construction.
- Multi-orientation Mirrors
- Mirrors that can be oriented in multiple ways and installed both on walls and ceilings provide versatility and innovation in interior design.
- Dynamic Profiles in Home Decor
- The use of dynamically profiled frames juxtaposes polished surfaces, creating new aesthetic dimensions and challenging conventional industrial designs.
Sectors Adopting This
- Interior Decor
- Transformative mirror designs that offer dynamic profiles and flexible orientations cater to ever-evolving interior decor trends.
- Furniture Design
- Innovative material usage and structural versatility signal a novel approach to furniture design, blending durability with aesthetic fluidity.
- Material Science
- Exploring fluid-like properties in traditionally rigid materials opens doors to new possibilities in material innovation and application.
