The mutually alternating fragmentary mirror surfaces and lighting fixtures form a conglomerate like a jigsaw puzzle of an image and a reflection. Sections of the room are more indicated momentarily than carried through.

Body/Space

People nowadays renew almost at will the outer appearance of their body or in other words of the parts of their body.  From a superficial point of view it’s possible to say that a human being consists more of fragments than a grown entity. The perfection we get from the human body is an accumulation of esthetically idealized sequences.

Different moments of the body become visible when the user passes the mirrors. Behind it and surrounding it are located tools and utensils of hygiene and esthetic, which the user needs to prepare himself in the deepest space of privacy for the open space of public. And it’s exactly there where he meets once again the seemingly belonging together ideal image of a body…in the form of built-up images of a unity simulated by us.

The space as a reflection of the society we live within.

Production

The pavement as well as the walls, ceilings and parts of the built-in furniture are manufactured with the spatula or casting technique Pandomo. The surfaces of the mirrors and lighting fixtures are carried out with the sides in brushed stainless steel. Free-standing built-in glasses mark areas of different use in the room
