OBJ-08 Mirrors by Manu Bañó

OBJ-08 Mirrors by Manu Bañó

Feb 26, 2024

In his "OBJ-08 Mirrors" collection, Manu Bañó delves into the sculptural and reflective qualities of copper, presenting a series that stands at the crossroads of art and design.

This endeavor not only showcases his mastery over materials but also his ability to transcend traditional boundaries, creating pieces that are both functional and aesthetically profound. By employing polished copper, Bañó crafts mirrors that redefine our interaction with everyday objects, turning them into pieces of art that challenge our perception of space and utility.

Each mirror, meticulously designed as a complementary pair with one concave and one convex form, invites viewers to engage with their surroundings in a new and meaningful way. This thoughtful approach to design encourages a deeper appreciation for how objects occupy our spaces, suggesting a shift from mere functionality to a more reflective, connected existence.

Through this collection, Bañó beckons us to reconsider our relationship with the material world. He posits that the objects we surround ourselves with should not only serve practical purposes but also act as vessels of beauty and reflection, enriching our lives and spaces. It's a call to perceive the everyday not as mundane but as a canvas for aesthetic and personal exploration.

Beyond this collection, Bañó's affiliation with EWE Studio underscores his commitment to pushing the boundaries of design. Here, amidst a collective of like-minded designers and artisans, his work continues to explore the intersections of tradition and innovation, craftsmanship and concept. The "Mirrors" series exemplifies Bañó's philosophy that design should not only challenge our perceptions but also invite us into a dialogue with the objects that define our environments.
