  • Fan Mirror by Studio ITO
    By Ghidini 1961
    Located in Milan, IT
    This wall mirror is inspired by the iconic shape of the classic Japanese hand. Historically, the fan was used to produce a cooling breeze, as well as to create a separation between two people by hiding the face out of shyness. This minimalist object ironically subverts that tradition by reflecting back and revealing one's image to the entire room.
