'courtoisie' by benjamin graindorge

'courtoisie' by benjamin graindorge, 2008
french designer benjamin graindorge has designed 'courtoisie' which is meant to bring
images of a vanishing world into our homes. mirrors are used to line the interior basin
of a bathtub, capturing both body and habitat.
the mirror gives a ghostly image, a somewhat transparent and eerie reflection
of the objects or people which are seen in its surface. 'courtoisie' is set to go into
production by cinna in january 2009.
