The Only Me Mirror 50x50 is a deceptively simple piece conceived by the illustrious French designer Philippe Starck for the Italian manufacturer Kartell.
The mission of Kartell is to provide innovative pieces constructed to the highest possible standards to ensure durability. The company is based in Milan and works with some of the world's leading designers, such as Philippe Starck.
Starck's portfolio ranges from hotel interiors to super yachts. He sees his life's quest as subverting the norm, while ensuring that every piece he designs is useful.
Starck delights in bringing his visionary eye to the apparently ordinary, such as a mirror. The Only Me Mirror 50x50 is typical of Starck's unique approach to the world. The designer's idea is to embrace the narcissism inherent in every mirror and turn it into a celebration of ourselves. Typically, Starck is turning conventional expectations upside down, creating an item that, in this case, is imbued with playfulness and a dash of wit. The glass mirror itself is set within a frame made of PMMA. The Only Me Mirror 50x50 is 50cm wide by 50cm high, with a depth of 8cm.
