House of Thol | Scape Mirror

Although getting Waterworks out there in stores in Netherlands (and beyond) is one of our main focal points at the moment, we're working hard on new products behind the scenes.
Our collaboration with Pols Potten for example (click), and a lovely project that's all about porcelain (we'll post some of the material experiments soon).

For all of you who've  been following us on Instagram and other social media: you might have seen sneak peaks of this new product pass by in the last weeks:

Sneak peak of the work-in-progress

Let me start at the beginning, we featured the photographs by Italian landscape photographer Franco Fontana on our other blog a while ago, and suddenly an old design-idea resurfaced and clicked right into place: a layered mirror for the hallway.

We decided to not waste any more time and went for it: It took us little time to finish the initial design of our hallway mirror and start building the prototype.


Work-in-progress: American White Oak frame.

Fast forward...
Here's the finished piece:

Our goal was to create a simple yet playful mirror, slightly inspired by Franco Fontana's architectural photographs.
A mirror for the hallway that wouldn't take up too much space, but would still have room for the occasional letter and set of keys.

As you can see, the three separate mirrors are stacked on top of each other, creating a subtle layered reflection and adding to the city-scape-like appearance.
And we're naming it: the Scape Mirror.

This first Scape mirror is still a prototype, but we're already looking into (small-scale) production possibilities.
Can't wait for that? Pop us an e-mail!
