The Ensemble is a hidden ironing board disguised as a mirror. The multifunctional household item transforms to help users save storage space. Designed by Off Garage, the cleverly hidden item showcases society's growing need for convenience, especially as more homeowners downsize to tiny home living and minimalism.
The multifunctional standing mirror spins over its two legs to become a horizontal board. The intuitive design features a minimalist style. Boasting stainless steel leg frames, the mirror and ironing board combination fit together naturally. After ironing clothes, it typically follows that users will wear them and check the mirror for the final look. Thus, Off Garage chose to merge the two items, making the Ensemble a convenient household product.
