Danish designer Ida Elke's latest series of tabletop mirrors – debuting this week during Northmodern design fair – asks us to reconsider the experience of interacting with our reflection

丹麦设计师艾达·埃尔克，ELKELAND工作室的创始人，在她家乡乡村深处的一间小木屋里工作。在这个偏僻的田园诗般的地方，她最常见的同伴是住在隔壁的母鸡，埃尔克专注于创造各种各样的物品，鼓励沉思和遐想。她最新的一系列台面镜子-本周在北现代设计博览会上首次亮相-这是北欧和国际设计的一年两次在哥本哈根的展示-让我们重新考虑与我们的反思互动的经验。

这条线是埃尔克(Elke)的“镜面手推车”(Mirror Moes)最初表达的理念的延续：简单的几何结构由反光亚克力面板制成，并与黄铜杆和黄麻编织的接头连接在一起，然后悬浮在太空，微妙地干扰我们的感知。虽然新的镜子在形式上非常类似于手机-使用同样的编织技术，以及原材料和闪亮材料的并置-但它们以更复杂的方式与周围环境互动。

每面镜子由两块抛光钢组成，用钢或黄铜棒和涂蜂蜡的亚麻绳粘合在一起。这一技术创造了一个灵活的连接，允许将每一面镜子放置在许多不同的位置。结果是一个敏感的对象，它不仅仅是它的直接功能-通过鼓励用户放慢速度，镜像将反射的概念提升到了另一个层次。他们需要一个安静的焦点和专注的手，因为你寻找最有趣的方式来放置它们与光和空间的关系。“你不能匆忙地把它们放进去，”埃尔克说。“它们不是容易的对象。”

The line is a continuation of ideas first expressed in Elke’s Mirror Mobiles: simple geometric constructions made of reflective acrylic panels and fastened together with woven joints of brass rods and jute

Ida Elke works out of a small cabin situated deep in her native countryside. From this remote and idyllic location, Elke focuses on creating a diverse range of objects that encourage contemplation and reverie

Each mirror is composed of two pieces of polished steel, held together by sticks of steel or brass and beeswax-coated flax string. This technique creates a flexible connection that allows each mirror to be placed in many different positions

The result is a sensitive object that does more than just its immediate function. 'They call for a silent focus and mindful hands, as you seek out the most interesting way to place them in relation to light and space. You cannot place them in a hurry,' Elke notes
