Selfportrait, Make-Up Mirror, I.Innocenti & G.Laboratore
About the Item
The appeal of the silk road the route which connected the east to the west, reaching as far as Venice is brought back to life by this object inspired by Chinese fans, where the mirror is offered as a refined female
accessory.
The lightness and harmony of the pleats, typical of paper fans, are recaptured by the lines of the solid wood handle, opening up to create a simple and harmonious design: a unique grip, created by an expert Vicenza wood carver, which holds the mirror composed of a thin plate of brushed stainless steel.
Selfportrait measures 36 cm H x 20 L x 2 TH (the mirror itself is 0.15 cm thick), and is available in natural wood as well as antique rosewater and smoke grey colors; this small and evocative accessory also features a support base for use on a dressing table, and a wall mount.
The Inspiration
Selfportrait Attributed to Hephaestus, in ancient times the mirror was composed of a perfectly polished sheet of bronze, gold or silver. The subsequent technique of producing glass mirrors was equally precious, and therefore available only to the few: for this reason mirrors, the feminine accessory par excellence, have always been
considered a symbol of beauty and luxury.
The designers
like ballad singers, designers tell of far-off and imaginary worlds through shapes, techniques and materials; they bring traditions from the past into the present to help them continue in the future. And thus decorative languages, artisan techniques and formal experimentation entwine to create different stories each time. Regaining knowledge which is disappearing, enclosing the memory of a place in an object: the work of a designer is not just creating products, but making the magic of an entire atmosphere take shape through a single object.
The craftsman
every corner of his workshop is imbued with the scent of dried wood; Marino and his joinery workshop are not a unique example in Italy, but certainly a rare one, belonging to an area rich in high quality Craft manufacturing near
Vicenza.
After many years of experience in mechanical engineering, which taught him the importance of attention to details, precision and quality workmanship, in the 1980s Marino decided to throw himself into woodwork, taking on the most highly perfumed and living of all materials. He was also able to transmit this passion to his children, who work alongside him actively in all areas of the workshop, specializing both in smaller items and in furnishings for the most important Italian companies.

Galerie Philia
Galerie Philia is an international contemporary sculptural design and art gallery representing emerging and established designers and artists. The gallery is the brainchild of two brothers who share a lifetime passion for art, literature and philosophy. Their distinct academic background sets them apart from their peers, as it sees them following a rhizomatic and transcultural approach in the way they select works. This involves combining elements from multiple cultures in what becomes a network of harmoniously interconnected roots, ultimately revealing the beauty of each unique creation. The gallery’s non-hierarchical curation sits apart from the ephemerality of trends and focuses instead on the true aesthetic quality of the piece – alluring and timeless. Unlike others, Galerie Philia does not focus on a single style – whether minimalist, organic or raw – but rather embraces heterogeneity. The Galerie Philia takes pride in discovering new talents, providing them with multiple international platforms to showcase their latest creations. As well as propelling the newest generation of 21st century collectible design, Galerie Philia also works with internationally known design artists. Galerie Philia has a strong international presence, with galleries in Geneva, New York and Singapore. In addition to their permanent spaces, the gallery organizes temporary group exhibitions and artists residencies in first-class locations around the world.
Available in different colors.
