Mirror of the other | CARLOS CHEN

€0.00

Mirror of the Other by Carlos Chen is a sculptural mirror that explores perception, duality and the quiet tension between presence and absence.
Composed with architectural precision, the piece combines polished metal, deep black reflection and warm wood surfaces to create an object that feels both intimate and monumental.
Chen plays with symmetry and asymmetry to question how we see ourselves and how we are seen. The mirror becomes an encounter: a shifting boundary between the viewer and the space, between clarity and distortion. Light bends around its surfaces, creating subtle gradients and reflections that change throughout the day. Both functional and deeply conceptual, Mirror of the Other embodies Chen’s refined approach to collectible design — where geometry becomes narrative and materiality becomes emotion.

About the artist

CARLOS CHEN

CARLOS CHEN DESIGN was founded in 2018 in Hangzhou by designer Carlos Chen, a creative mind driven by curiosity and a multidisciplinary approach. His work is grounded in observing the world from multiple angles, uncovering connections and perspectives that lead to the most precise and effective design solutions.

The studio’s philosophy is to design for both the present and the future, free from the constraints of passing trends. Each creation pursues the purest form of design expression, where proportions, materials, and purpose coexist in perfect equilibrium. This results in objects that are timeless in essence yet forward-looking in concept.

Through a language that is both minimal and emotionally resonant, CARLOS CHEN DESIGN crafts furniture and objects that invite reflection, embody cultural sensitivity, and embrace a global perspective. Within EAST WEST SPACE, his work finds a natural dialogue with other collectible design voices, offering a unique bridge between contemporary Chinese creativity and the international design scene.
