Laser-Cutting

When an industrial company specializing in elevator interiors showed Levy a thick metal sample, he asked them to make it thinner and more reflective. The result is a set of mirrors made not of glass but from a sheet of .8mm laser-cut "supermirror" stainless steel. "When you put it on the wall you have this Alice in Wonderland feeling that you're looking through a hole in the wall and seeing people on the other side," Levy says. If you stand close to it, the stainless steel reflects perfectly; it distorts shapes slightly from a distance, giving the object a more dynamic character. Originally produced in a limited edition, the mirror is now available from the Italian manufacturer Desalto.
