Symbol of reflection, introspection and vanity, the mirror is not only a practical device, but also an object that confronts the individual with a complex comparison between that which appears and that which we feel – between our reflection and how we are perceived by others. Italian artist Pietro Terzini, known for his audacious works that are an invitation to interact and reflect, presents his first design product in collaboration with Cassina.
Featuring a contemporary design aesthetic, this 100-piece ME FROM OUTSIDE limited edition contains a screen-printed message, in capital letters, that creates a candid relationship between the observer and the object itself. “Sometimes I lie” is a reminder that appearances often are not a faithful representation of reality and how easy it is to lie to ourselves when we want to hide from the truth. Pietro Terzini’s hand-written signature appears on a plaque attached to the back of the limited edition pieces, further attesting to the artistic focus of the project.
