Idea
The Spiegel started from a piece of wood too damaged to be reused in its original form, and a mirror pane left over from a renovation. Instead of discarding either, Andres combined them into a single object where the wood's history frames the glass's new purpose.
Material
The wood was salvaged from a dismantled piece of furniture; its grain, scars and old finish were kept visible rather than sanded away. The mirror glass came from an offcut that would otherwise have gone unused.
Process
The wood was cut and jointed by hand into a frame built specifically for the dimensions of the salvaged glass, keeping the piece entirely unique.
Final Piece
The finished Spiegel stands as both a functional mirror and a record of the materials it was built from — nothing hidden, nothing wasted.
