The Dichroic Glass Vanity Mirror is a captivating piece of functional art that playfully challenges the viewer’s sense of vanity and self-perception. Crafted using a digitally printed mirror, Starphire glass, and dichroic film, this mirror transforms the simple act of reflection into an interactive experience. The mirror’s surface is intricately embedded with text that reads, “I bet this mirror cost a lot of money, and you can’t even see yourself in it. You’re so vain…”
The unique blend of dichroic film creates a mesmerizing, iridescent effect, with shifting colours that react to light and movement, constantly changing how the mirror looks from different angles. The text, laser printed into the surface, plays with transparency and reflection, suggesting that while the mirror may be designed for self-reflection, its purpose is to make a bold, ironic statement about materialism and ego.
The Starphire glass enhances the piece’s clarity and sharpness, allowing the dichroic film’s prismatic effect to shine. The overall effect is visually stunning and conceptually witty, making it a perfect centrepiece for any contemporary space that values aesthetics and meaning.
This mirror, designed by Troy Smith Studio, is a beautiful and humorous reminder that sometimes the most valuable objects are not always what they seem. That self-reflection goes beyond what we can see on the surface.
