Specifications:
The mirrors making up the Deadline collection by Ron Gilad are ingeniously designed hybrid objects, combining premier engineering and carpentry skills of the highest order. 16 unique pieces, each set in its own black or white ashwood frame, each of which boasts a different texture and shape. Every piece is composed of two sheets of glass, 12mm apart. The front face is silvered, the back being coloured orange, blue, or red. These colours are reflected in the second mirror, to create a subtle interplay of graphic shapes. The frame comes apart so the mirrors can be cleaned. It is fitted with high-profile joints, the better to emphasise that this is an example of craftsmanship. The oblong, square, or rectangular frames highlight the difference between each option, reinforcing the idea of the unique nature of the work of art. **Deadline mirror launch by Ron Gilad @ Cassina IXC, Japan**
Designer Ron Gilad was born in 1972 in Tel Aviv. After attending the Bezalel Academy in Jerusalem, he embarked upon his design career in New York, where he lived for ten years. Upon his return to Tel Aviv in 2013, he opened his office and began an assiduous relationship with the Milan design world. Gilad's work is marked by careful and rigorous research investigating design through ironic and unsettling, abstract, functional, geometric and conceptual solutions.
