Design Tracing its Origins: Recovering Fragments of Romance from a French Manor House
Drawing inspiration from the decorative influences of 19th-century French manors, this space, with its oval silhouette and exquisitely carved ceiling, condenses the elegance and romance etched by time into a living aesthetic. Every trace of distressing and every carved detail resembles a romantic fragment peeled from the manor’s old objects, infusing the space with a gentle narrative and recreating a sense of daily relaxation and ritual.
A Scenario-Based Experience: Making Mirror Viewing a Romantic Occasion
Morning Tidying – Entryway
Morning mist drifts across the entryway, and an oval mirror catches the morning light from the courtyard. As I gently adjust the folds of my trench coat while changing shoes, the carved patterns in the mirror echo my vintage outfit, transporting the manor’s morning routine into modern life. The mirror’s nostalgic charm imbues the mundane preparations for a journey with a vintage touch of elegance.
Afternoon Relaxation – Living Room
On a weekend afternoon, sunlight slants through the bay window, and a decorative mirror hangs above the sofa wall. Light and shadow filter through the window, and the carved patterns cleave the light into tiny specks, lingering with the coffee on the coffee table and the spread of poetry, like a silent romantic whisper. Looking in the mirror, my thoughts drift to the lavender fields of Provence, and time spent alone imbued with a sense of French relaxation.
Dinner Appointment ・ Dressing Room
Before dinner, I stand before the oval mirror in the dressing room, adjusting my dress straps and gently sniffing my perfume. The distressed frame in the mirror contrasts with the gorgeous gown, imbuing my exquisite outfit with a sense of storytelling, as if the outfit belongs to a ball at a castle. Family members pass by, and they exchange a smile in the mirror. The hurried preparations blend with the tenderness of bygone times, tinged with anticipation.
Commercial Space ・ Atmosphere Magnet
In a guesthouse, the mirror, paired with linen bedding and cast iron lamps, creates a nostalgic “French Country” ambiance. When guests wake up and look in the mirror, their travel memories are etched in their memories. A vintage grocery store hanging mirror, with its distressed frame echoing vintage objects, creates a time-lapse filter for photos, conveying the aesthetic of “time coexisting” and enhancing the space’s appeal.
A product that brings romance to everyday life.
