SKY MIRRORS

Producer: Zanat
For and with Monica Förster Design Studio
2020

This collection of mirror was designed for the Bosnian company Zanat, a furniture producer that mainly works with solid wood and specializes in woodcarving, being part of the UNESCO World Heritage for the preservation of this craft.

The approach to the Sky collection was to create simultaneously modernist art sculptures, hand-carved in solid wood, as well as a set of functional mirrors, which the company lacked in their collection. The Sky mirrors aim to show the exquisite craftsmanship of Zanat and their unique hand-carving technique, creating collectible design pieces. While designing the mirrors we put a lot of effort in making them look interesting from all angles, to be used as centerpiece objects for a multitude of different settings and environments, placed either as singular objects or in groups of two or more, which also turns them into room dividers. 

They come in 4 different sizes and both in walnut or maple with different stains and finishes.
