The discovery of Tutankhamen’s tomb set off a beautiful frenzy in ornate Art Deco. The desire to make an object from this idea with architectural details, led us to design a mirror in collaboration with Ashwin, who’s expertise in heritage tile design and research into historical ornamentation particularly excited us. ‘King of Spades’ marries Ashwin’s disciplined line work with precise machining and hand craft, all while preserving the wonder and mysticism that such a discovery once inspired. The mirror doors themselves are an exercise in symmetry, moulding design and mathematical spacing. Opulent on the outside, once opened, the mirror shows only the reflection of the individual, illuminated in the drama of candlelight.
