Description

[ me ] rror – noun mir.ror ‘mir-er, mi-rer
1: a polished or smooth surface (as of glass) that forms images by reflection
2: a: something that gives a true representation – C.G. Bowers
b: an exemplary model

The object created by BORGI | BASTORMAGI for “sense-me” by SBODIO 32 for Milan Design Week 2017, questions the relationship of the body with its reflection. While looking at yourself is another mundane activity; it is, in reality, a moment of connection with the self. Seeing yourself in parts, hiding other ones, [ me ] rror allows the user to reconstruct their own perception of themselves through a scattered reflection of fragments. The take on this product by the designers, shatters this view, highlighting parts of the whole and never the entire, allowing for imagination to flow, pushing the user to create a different view of themselves.

[ me ] rror is designed with metal rods and surfaces.

Partially geometric, partially sculptural, partially sleek, partially raw, partially stable, partially fragile, it holds an urban edge, inspired by Beirut’s urban landscape and signage. The design aims for equilibrium between its parts, a balance aimed for, daily, by the urban dweller.

About Studio Etienne Bastormagi Visit Showroom →

Etienne Bastormagi is a multi-disciplinary architect of scales. In 2016, he founded his own eponymous studio practice with the sole intention of engaging in spatial play across forms, leveraging degrees in Architecture and Urban Design with over ten years of experience as lead concept architect for one of the largest design firms in the SWANA region. Whether urban interventions, architecture, interiors, scenography or objects, each new project begins from a state of complete unpredictability, presenting unique possibilities to produce moving works that challenge the standard expectations of architecture, art and design. Etienne is fascinated by the nature of light as both matter and wave, and continuously explores this duality by manipulating the heavy densities and volumes of industrial materials into moving spatial compositions that embody lightness and a flexibility for transformation. The essence of his practice is to create strong and grounded architectural experiences that––whatever the scale––always convey a sense of inviting luminosity and warm depth, while maintaining clean lines and sober intellect. Currently based between Beirut and Milan, Studio Etienne Bastormagi offers a collaborative platform to explore design potentials across a continuously expanding spectrum of scales, industries and contexts. Inspired by local engagement and committed to the evolution of contemporary design practices in the region, Etienne continuously collaborates with creatives and makers sharing similar interests and extensible imaginations. He has also nurtured this growing community as a lecturer of architecture and representations in various universities throughout Lebanon since 2006. Recently named in Architectural Digest’s 2024 Definitive List of Top Designers in the Middle East and Africa (AD100), Etienne’s work has also been featured in various other international publications, including Elle Deco, Ideat, The New York Times, Financial Times, among others. He has also been featured in a number of exhibitions and has been nominated for and won notable awards for his engaged, multi-disciplinary practice.
