Multifunction Mirror

Golden A' Design Award Winner 2022

Slender vertical forms in matte black tubular steel rise against a contemplative backdrop where pristine white plaster meets weathered concrete in a dialogue of surface and time, establishing the compositional framework for ZIEL HOME FURNISHING TECHNOLOGY CO.,LTD's Multifunctional Mirror, an award-winning furniture design that commands attention through its sophisticated interplay of geometric vocabulary and material restraint. The primary focal elements consist of two elongated oval mirror frames constructed from continuous bent metal tubing, their stadium-shaped silhouettes creating elegant negative space while housing reflective glass surfaces that capture and redistribute ambient illumination throughout the pictorial field. A secondary geometric system emerges through the integration of warm blonde wood elements, cylindrical stools positioned at the base of each mirror assembly providing both functional seating and visual anchoring through their solid volumetric presence against the linear metal framework. The chromatic palette demonstrates remarkable restraint, orchestrating a sophisticated conversation between the cool neutral gray of the industrial concrete wall treatment at right, the warm ivory of the painted surface at left, the honey-gold tonality of the ash or beech wood components, and the assertive yet refined satin black of the powder-coated steel structural members. Illumination enters from an upper left source, creating soft diagonal shadows that trace across the white wall surface while defining the dimensional relief of the textured concrete, this raking light emphasizes the three-dimensional quality of both the mirror frameworks and their wooden accompaniments. Spatial construction employs a deliberately shallow picture plane with the objects arranged in a gentle diagonal recession from foreground left to middle-ground right, establishing visual rhythm through repetition with variation. The compositional architecture follows classical principles of asymmetrical balance, with the larger mirror unit at left counterweighted by the textured wall surface and secondary mirror at right, while the herringbone parquet flooring in warm oak tones provides a unifying horizontal datum that grounds the vertical aspirations of the standing mirrors. Edge treatment varies purposefully throughout, with the crisp hard edges of the metal tubing contrasting against the softer gradations where light meets shadow on the wooden cylinders.

According to people's living habits, based on the principle of less is more, the multifunctional mirror provides people with a one-stop solution, allowing people to easily cope with every day. The appearance is simple, the geometric shape of the hook and the mirror are used as a coat rack with a mirror, the middle is a storage tray, which is adjustable, and the bottom has a mirror that can double as a secondary mirror, and the mirror surface can be adjusted to be flush with the mirror.
