British designer Phil Procter is known for his unique perspective on a particular material-metal. Based in Rotterdam, he leans on the city’s history to reimagine what we consider industrial in his practice, which spans furniture, lighting, and spatial design.
Muuto is thrilled to announce the launch of Gaze Mirror. The design is a statement piece that is concerned with producing a strong sculptural character-an object that distinctly blends the lines between design and art.
Muuto is committed to offering new perspectives on Scandinavian design, expanding these with forward-looking materials, techniques, and bold creative thinking. Gaze Mirror serves as an extension of that brand ethos-a design that offers a new perspective not only on the spaces it reflects but also on the metal material of which it is composed.
“It all started with the material. Stainless steel can be polished to a high-gloss, mirror-like finish. Interestingly, it is akin to a mirror without being traditional glass with a silver backing. It’s just a single material, which makes the construction minimal-only a few components are needed. We use folding a lot in our work because it allows for thin, visually light, and structurally strong pieces,” says Phil Procter.
