Grass Mirror
The architects at Paris-based studio H20 Architects know how to maximize space--and in their latest design, the Grass Mirror, it's no different.
At Dwell, we first explored the firm's space-saving work for our April 2009 issue. Our then-senior editor Geoff Manaugh penned a piece about the architects' House for a Teenager, in which they tucked all the "elements necessary for an autonomous life, including sleeping, living, studying, and washing" into barely more than 129 square feet of floor space. To do so, the firm employed its strategy of building "inhabitable furniture": stairs that also function as benches, walls into which cabinets are built in for storage, and so on.
This diagram of the Grass Mirror from H2O Architects shows how the modular units combine to create a planter-mirror wall as large as desired.

Greener Pasture
Like a little chapel on the prairie, architect Jean-Baptiste Barache’s simply elegant retreat in the tiny Normandy town of Auvillier is a modern play on centuries-old forms and technology.

I liked it, form, function, innovation and surprise!
Not certain how well it functions as a mirror, but it works well as a modular planter and sculpture. Add a stand/base in the future and it could stand alone inside or out.
Just want to add that the closeup-photos are really great! :)
It is a great thing with its design, a new look and all the modern innovative techniques with great quality and very good in architecture and design...
Like this product very much. Where can it be purchased?
