When the creative spirit of Paul Cocksedge, internationally renowned
designer and artist, met the experimental approach of Magis, the result
was the Morphed Mirror collection.
Much more than a collection of mirrors: “an exploration of the power of
compression”, as the designer explains, a simple gesture that transforms
material and form, resulting in objects that seem to capture movement.
An idea born from the desire to explore the boundary between three-
dimensional and two-dimensional, between softness and rigidity, between
design and pure expression. Soft forms, shaped and compressed, that
suddenly become flat surfaces, without losing their sense of volume and
tension.
This is how each Morphed Mirror develops its character, like a fragment of
a gesture crystallised in time, coming to life by evoking stories, emotions,
and human connections. There are shapes that recall an embrace, some
that suggest a wave, others that seem to capture the tenderness of parents
holding a child in their arms.
Different materials that blend together and a blurred boundary between
flatness and rigid stillness: the subtle play of volumes creates a new tactile
and visual experience. Everyday objects come to life and dialogue with the
observer.
The collection consists of three mirrors (89.2 x 104 cm) featuring a black
metal frame that encapsulates the dynamic force of the mirrors, and two
mirrors featuring one or two shelves that press against the sides.
