SMACK DOWN
To the uneducated eye this objet
d’art might not look like much more
than a flattened metal pipe; even calling
it an objet d’art might seem pretentious
for such a deceptively simple design.
But don’t underestimate the power
of the Press Mirror by Philippe
Malouin. Fabricated from a single
tube of stainless steel that has been
pressed and polished, its solid base
makes it unexpectedly multi-purpose,
seamlessly transitioning from hand
mirror (so you can admire yourself)
to sculpture (for others to admire).

KINETIC ENERGY
Designer
Brad
Turner
started his career in the field
of kinesiology.
And while a
background in the mechanisms of
movement may seem an unlikely
training ground for a glass artist,
his aesthetic has been greatly
influenced by his ability to
meld the two seemingly diverse
realms together. His Traden
Lamp exhibits both movement
and balance - not to mention
the
designer’s
impeccable
coordination. glassturner.com
