a collection of design mirrors, hybrid objects of exceptional constructive craftsmanship, envisioned by ron gilad through construction engineering and fine furniture making.

16 unique pieces, each one set in an ash frame, with different shapes and surfaces. Each work is made up of two pieces of glass coupled 12 mm apart: the front mirror is back-painted in different colors while the rear mirror reflects an interplay of geometric graphic shapes in dual perspective.

the frame can be disassembled to clean the mirrors and is made with visible joints that accentuate the expertise of the joiners. The oblong, square and rectangular shapes vary the product line, lending a sense of artistic uniqueness

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**
