The primary goal was to create practical and adjustable items that not only serve their functional purpose but also double as captivating decorative wall pieces. The project promotes sustainable practices while elevating home decor aesthetics.
The target customer for ALCHEMIRROR is composed of environmentally conscious individuals who appreciate artistic and handcrafted elements in their interior decor.
Each abstract motif tells a unique story, representing the journey of recycling and the transformation that the materials undergo.
The irregularities in the texture symbolize the alchemical process of change and metamorphosis, as waste materials are transformed into artful pieces.
Colour Palette and Decorative Motifs:
Deep and muted tones are chosen to evoke a sense of elegance and mystery while harmonizing with the eco-conscious ethos of the product. Black, representing the mystery and allure of alchemy, complements the palette.
Abstract decorative motifs, inspired by alchemical symbols and mystical patterns, are hand-painted on the frames, infusing them with a touch of individuality.
Conceptualization:
The idea for ALCHEMIRROR emerged from the desire to create aesthetically pleasing mirrors while reducing waste and promoting environmental responsibility. I focused on using sustainable materials and settled on paper mache, upcycled mirrors, and cardboard, embracing their unique textures and characteristics.
Functional Modularity:
ALCHEMIRROR's functional modularity enables personalizing home decor by pairing, fusing, or mixing and matching various shapes, colours, and sizes.
By integrating deep and muted tones, raw textures, and abstractly painted motifs, the CMF strategy for the ALCHEMIRROR set reflects the product's transformative journey from recyclable waste materials to exquisite, sustainable mirrors, while embodying a sense of elegance and mystery.
