Challenging Mirror Designs

The Narciso Ladder by Sebastiano Tosi Forces People to Climb for a Look

Sebastiano Tosi has created a thoughtful piece of furniture that addresses the narcissism overtaking many parts of the world. He writes, "Who would be willing, nowadays, to climb over a few steps to look at themselves in the mirror? The answer is easy: any narcissus of the 21st century. The claim that beauty needs hard work is now concrete, as perfection can be obtained only if obstacles are overcome."

With this sentiment in mind, it's clear that Sebastiano Tosi hopes to send a powerful message through this particular work of art. Available in white, blue and light green, Sebastiano Tosi's Narciso Ladder would act as a great reminder regarding this self-obsession among other things. Yet at the end of the day, it is also an interesting piece of decor for the home.
