'Beyond' by Dajeong Jang: Innovation in Hand Mirror

Beyond

Hand Mirror for Dajeong Jang

'Beyond’ is a hand mirror inspired by a wing mirror on a car. Like the wing mirror which helps the driver to see areas beyond the driver’s peripheral vision, it takes people to look at their own beauty inside beyond their appearance. The natural warmth and lightweight of ashwood in a generous volume shape gives a gentle feeling when they are in hand. It is also nice to see it turned over on the table.

Unique Properties

It is a hand mirror inspired by a wing mirror. Like a phrase on the wing mirror 'Objects in mirror are closer than they appear', a phrase 'You are more than you appear' is marked on the surface of the mirror. It takes people to think about their own beauty inside beyond their appearance. With a generous volume shape on the back, it gives a gentle feeling when they are in hand. The mirror is placed slightly inside so it is protected by a wood rim when it is turned over.

Production Technology

It consists of two parts. The wood part is ashwood with a soap finish and the mirror part is an acrylic mirror with laser cutting and text marking.

Design Challenge

It was challenging to create a simple and concise phrase transition from the original one while keeping its essence. It also took a long journey to find a satisfactory volume shape in both situations when gripped by hand and placed on the table. After all, those challenges allowed me to go further than I expected.

Project Duration

The project started in July 2020 and finished in January 2021 in Seoul.

Operation Flow

The ash wood gives natural warmth and lightweight on hand with shock resisting density and hardness.

Research

As this hand mirror is linked to the wing mirror of the car, I tried to find the most general characteristic of the wing mirror. Afterward, the shape was refined through the iteration of sketches and model making.

Inspiration

One time I got into a car, a wing mirror caught my eye. It helps the driver to see areas beyond the driver’s peripheral vision. I wondered what if a hand mirror also can reflect beyond our appearance.
