Continuum Freestanding Mirror for BDI - 2005

The Continuum Mirror marked my first collaboration with BDI in 2005, when the company’s product line was primarily focused on wall mirrors. My goal was to expand that offering with a freestanding, multi-swivel mirror that felt timeless, intuitive, and adaptable to a wide range of interiors.

The design reinterprets the classic cheval mirror through a more modern and architectural lens. A full-length mirror appears to float within a bent steel frame, while a weighted steel base provides stability and a grounded visual counterpoint. The frame construction was influenced by Jørgen Gammelgaard’s Concept Chair No. 2, which uses simple steel elements in a precise and thoughtful way.

Continuum was designed to be intuitive, useful, and quietly architectural. Its mix of wood, steel, and glass gives the piece a simple material clarity, while the adjustable form makes it practical for everyday use.
