Best known for his one-off pieces and very limited collections, French born Damien Gernay loves to play with materials and textures. This stunning, hand-made mirror is the latest from the Blanc Cassé collection, where the artist explores the notion of the colour white – or, rather off-white, as the title suggests.
The design is conceived as a multi-layered disc of steel revealing a fascinating, seamless transition from the initial matte white lacquer, to the black of the primer, to the gleaming center that has been sanded to create a mirror effect.
The concentric layers create the illusion as though there were a hole through the wall, thus lending the piece artwork status.
