Mdf Italia Mirror Lines
MIRROR LINES
MIRROR LINES
An inspiration coming from the agricultural landscape, that at first surprised, then guided, the architects Irene Goldberg & Pitsou Kedem to develop Mirror Lines, the new MDF Italia collection of six mirrors.
More precisely, the irrigated fields and the rice paddies seen from above led the architects to resume the geometric patterns of that world, projecting them into a creative line of mirrors.
The glance is exciting: in the frame painted either matt black nickel or matt pearl nickel, next to the light reflected by the mirrors, decorative inserts in different materials stand out: Guatemala marble, matt white Carrara Marble, or in green onyx or brass, the latter with an iridescent effect. A furnishing solutions that irradiates vitality and energy, for an unusual, but original and highly involving overall view.
“The opportunity to work with onyx and other materials allowed us to add nature in our design” the designers explained. ““Marble and brass, so substantial and with changing colours, seemed to be the simplest way to pay tribute to the fruits of the earth, taming these materials to the rituals of everyday life”. Mirror Lines is a suggestive and customisable collection, to enliven the home walls with new geometries and surprising effects, fit for both classic and contemporary spaces.
DESIGNER
IRENE GOLDBERG
Born in Venezuela in 1970, moved to Israel in 1983, Irene graduated from the Mackintosh School of Architecture in Glasgow in 1997. She worked with Pitsou Kedem Architects between the years 2005 and 2017 where she led the design schemes and concept development for many of the projects in the office, including those of the commercial spaces.
In 2014 Irene and Pitsou founded the brand OBJECT – a small scale design – a collaboration in which the two created every-day objects complementing the architecture they built. In 2018 Irene became the sole owner of Object. In 2017 Irene co-founded Baranowitz Goldberg Architects together with Sigal Baranowitz. Their comprehensive experience in different fields of design allowed the studio’s projects to vary and include all scales of design.
Whether it be a product or a building, their leading design incentive was aimed at finding the story able to ignite the creative process.
