seven years bad luck?

As my obssession with mirrored furniture continues, I discovered the work of Fernando and Humberto with their 'scrigno' family of shattered glass objects. They have such a high aesthetical quality to them but at the same time I dont think it is too in your face, standing out in any environment for the wrong reasons. Its simple and clean and the cut shapes make it catch your eye. I love how they can reflect objects and light around your environment, making them in a way blend in with your current surroundings. I love pieces like this and if its in anyway possible I would definately consider trying to do something like this for my final project next year.

Wow! So at work yesterday we had our monthly subscription of ELLE Decoration arrive, the stunning work of Jake Phipps definately stood out for me. I was greeted on the contents page by 'Stellar' a beautiful, polished stainless steel piece, that is encrusted with 900 mirrored sections that run all the way through the piece. I would absolutely love to design something like this! A modern contemporary piece that isnt just straight lines, but a stunning mixture of clean cut lines and all the charm and beauty of a highly decorated piece. Unfortunately I dont think I will ever be able to own one of these, as there are only 25 variations available, reflecting on the price tag of £11,500! But if I ever win the lottery I would definately think about splashing some cash on this gorgeous piece.
