Astra

By Clémence Birot

Designed by Clémence Birot

A sculptural symphony of form and functionality, the Astra table mirror by Clémence Birot is an object of deep wandering reflection, meticulously assembled by a triumvirate of European master artisans who honor the soul of raw material. At its foundation lies an ethereal basin of hand-blown glass, expertly breathed into existence by the legendary craftsmen of Arcam Glass in Nantes, France; this transparent vessel does not merely anchor the object, but serves as a poetic repository designed to hold intimate treasures or quiet decorative elements. Nestled precisely within this glass cradle is a truncated sphere of natural cork, shaped by the historic hands of Corticeira Viking in Rio Meão, Portugal, providing an ingenious, tactile pivot that allows the mirror to tilt gracefully, adapting to the user's gaze with fluid elegance. Crowning this architectural trinity is a flawless, round beveled mirror crafted by the meticulous artisans of Vetro-Art in Italy, catching the ambient light of an interior and offering a pristine window to the soul. Through this cross-border journey of glass, cork, and silvered crystal, the Astra table mirror transcends its utility to become a silent, sculptural companion on a vanity or mantel, marrying ancestral European savoir-faire with a sophisticated, contemporary geometry.
