The use of mirrors affects the image of the shop but also the light since it is reflected towards different angles of the space, illuminating it completely. All this is combined with the use of wooden details and a deep red ceiling.
Description of project by Garmendia Cordero arquitectos
The analyzed disposal of four mirrored triangular prisms organizes a narrow and elongated space. These prisms deal with the resulting routes, work as product showcase and multiply the possible perspectives exponentially.
As a result, a kind mirror maze creates perception confusion. It makes forget the existing volume and induces a different visual sensation depending on the observer's location and point of view. In fact, it transforms one single room into as many as we are able to assume.
One simple game of oblique reflections builds a sensorial unreality that enriches a boring volume and creates a range of artificial spaces much more attractive than reality.
An old fairground trick created at the end of the 19th century that, revisited in a functional way, transforms a lifeless space and multiplies it as many times as we want.
