Content overview: “Jean-Baptiste Fastrez turns inflatable boats and wall fixings into mirrors that challenge ”. French designer Jean-Baptiste Fastrez has spent over a decade reimagining the mirror, and his latest works transform an inflatable boat and a standard wall fixing into reflective objects that question perception. 'I like the paradox of an object that has such a strong physical presence, yet whose image is almost entirely made up of whatever surrounds it,' Fastrez explains. By applying mirror finishes to these everyday forms, he creates pieces that are both familiar and disorienting, forcing viewers to confront their own gaze.
The inflatable boat mirror, with its bulky, tactile shape, becomes a shimmering surface that reflects its environment, while the wall fixing mirror turns a mundane hardware item into a gleaming focal point. These designs continue Fastrez's exploration of how mirrors can be more than functional—they become sculptures that mediate between the viewer and the space.
