Arca: Mirror Shelf

A Modern Solution for Convenience and Style

Modern people are constantly on the go, requiring quick and easy solutions for their daily routines. The Arca Mirror Shelf, designed by Gensuke Kishi, offers a unique and practical solution for getting ready in the morning. With a full-length mirror that incorporates a shelf, this innovative design allows for efficient and effortless preparation, whether sitting or standing.

The Arca Mirror Shelf stands out with its embedded box shelf, seamlessly integrated into the surface of the mirror. This clever design ensures that everything you need is within easy reach while maintaining a sleek and stylish appearance. The box shelf is not only functional but also adds a touch of elegance to any space.

One of the standout features of the Arca Mirror Shelf is its stability. The bottom of the box shelf is in contact with the wall, providing support and maintaining the proper angle of the mirror. The mirror itself is tilted, while the box remains vertical, creating a visually striking effect. The mirror reflects the surrounding scenery, giving the illusion that the box is floating.

The Arca Mirror Shelf is crafted using high-quality materials such as steel, mirror glass, and MDF panel. The frame, made of powder-coated steel, features L angles that provide a sturdy structure. The mirror glass is attached to an MDF panel, which is then fixed to the frame using screws. The steel box is securely embedded into the mirror, ensuring a seamless and polished finish. The assembly process is straightforward, allowing anyone to easily put it together.

With dimensions of 1850mm in height, 450mm in width, and 220mm in depth, the Arca Mirror Shelf is designed to fit seamlessly into any space, whether it be a bedroom, bathroom, or dressing area. Its clean lines and minimalist design make it a versatile piece that complements various interior styles.

The Arca Mirror Shelf is not just a practical solution; it is also a design that has been recognized for its excellence. In 2019, it was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category. This prestigious accolade is bestowed upon designs that showcase outstanding creativity, technical skill, and resourcefulness. The Arca Mirror Shelf's incorporation of art, science, design, and technology contributes to improving the quality of life, making it a worthy recipient of this esteemed award.

The Arca Mirror Shelf is a testament to Gensuke Kishi's dedication to solving everyday inconveniences with thoughtful and innovative design. By combining form and function, this design not only enhances the daily routine but also adds a touch of elegance to any space. Experience the convenience and style of the Arca Mirror Shelf and transform your morning routine into a seamless and enjoyable experience.
