Creative studio FRAME introduces the Portraits collection with Martin Grasser which is a range of customizable mirrors. These are available a a par of the studio's larger Craft Nouveau collection. The mirrors are progressive and made from glass materials to blend traditional craftsmanship with generative algorithms.
Each mirror is made with inspiration by a name or word that Grasser will translate into code and create a range of shapes and colors. Grasser explains the design project, stating “Our goal is to invite everyone into the process of creating generative art and design, and to spark curiosity about the techniques we use. We hope participants will leave with a deeper appreciation for the beauty of our colored mirrors and how they have been created through text."
