Gradient mirror

design museum gent presents 'kleureyck. van eyck’s colours in design', an exhibition exploring the innovative use of color in contemporary design.

Brussels designers Big-game have created a collection of objects with graduated patterns applied to their surfaces that make them appear blurry. Called Blur, the range includes low tables, mirrors, lamps and a vase decorated with the silkscreen-printed pattern. "Erasing bits of reality, the series is composed of meticulously materialized objects celebrating the disappearance of materiality,"

the products use gradients of colors and shades, fading in and out, to manipulate the space in which they are installed.

This mirror with blurry edges reflects a rather dreamy image of its surroundings. Created by Amsterdam designer Thomas Eurlings, the Fading Mirror has a printed gradient under the glass to give a soft-focus reflection. See all our stories about mirrors here, including one that appears cloudy unless viewed straight-on. Photographs are by Rene Mesman.
