Description

This mirror, crafted from stabilized raw clay, reinterprets the classic checkerboard pattern. Here, the pattern decomposes into different modules, creating a lively and unexpected visual composition.

The mirror’s flat surface interacts with a hypnotic geometric pattern, offering a subtle interplay between order and imbalance. The empty and filled spaces echo one another, creating a visual rhythm, while the matte, grainy texture of the clay contrasts with the mirror’s impeccable polish. Handcrafted from Salernes clay, each element reflects delicate craftsmanship. The technique used in their creation brings irregularity and softness to the rigid checkerboard pattern.

The strong presence of the earthen elements contrasts with the immaterial quality of the mirror’s reflection. The two-dimensional checkerboard pattern is transcended by the depth of the mirror, where each reflection invites us to dive into this three-dimensional chessboard. Both a functional object and a graphic artwork, this mirror combines a strong visual presence with minimalist elegance, where each reflection is enhanced by the graphic interplay of the checkerboard.

This mirror is a unique, handcrafted piece. Each clay element can be removed to allow for cleaning of the mirror.

About Dzovag Kotchian Visit Showroom →

Dzovag Kotchian is a French designer based in the south of France. His work develops through theoretical reflection and artistic research. Experimentation with materials, uses and manufacturing techniques is central to his projects.Since 2023, he has been focusing on the creation of objects in stabilized raw clay, using a manufacturing process he has been developing over several years.The origins of this project lie in the exploration of one material: raw earth. Its use dates back to the origins of humanity, and it awakens in man an emotional attachment to nature. Experimentation and the search for new applications in the field of design have prompted him to consider it in a whole new way. Letting himself be guided by the material, he developed a new manufacturing process using stabilized raw earth.Here, the earth is neither worked nor shaped, but simply delicately coats the immersed structure. This natural coating covers the assemblies and binds the different parts together, creating objects that seem to have been created from a single block. This unprecedented technique gives him total freedom in the shapes he wishes to give his objects, giving rise to light, aerial objects with shapes that are sometimes organic, sometimes geometric. His delicate creations hide their solidity behind a graceful, poetic appearance.
