studio note explores mirrors as pure architecture
in this series, intangible shapes typically created by the intersection of architecture and light are crafted into concrete objects.

intrigued by the boundary between buildings and objects, studio note brings in an alternative purpose to mirrors. typically conceived as furniture, this collection considers reflective surfaces as architecture itself rather than an object for human use.

the collection of mirrors considers the delicate boundary between architecture and objects
studio note also explores the reflection of light, a characteristic feature of any mirror. whether straight, curved or parallel, architectural lines typically intersect with light and shadows to create new intangible shapes. therefore, designer norihiko terayama has extracted those lines and reflections found in architecture– transforming them into visible, concrete objects.

overview: mirror as an architecture

curved, parallel and straight lines are extracted from buildings and incorporated as concrete objects

with careful combinations, each piece offers intriguing shapes and visual dynamics

typically perceived as furniture, this collection highlights mirrors as an element solely for architecture

parallel mirrors evoking the lines found on building facades when light and shadow intervene

combining optical effects in each design, from light to shadow and forms

detail view: unique patterns are conceived for each structure
