Our iconic Magic Mirror material comes in many different forms, on various supports and is as adaptable as your imagination itself. A dichroic material made of over one hundred superposed micro-layers, with different refractive indices, that separate the light in many different directions at once: perplexing the eye and troubling your senses, adding color where there was none and separating tones. It is capable of being transparent, invisible, saturated, hyper-visible, intense and eye-catching all at the same time. Watch the video above to see and hear our most popular iterations and allow yourself to be transported through the medium of Magic Mirror.
A layered material, comprising the lightweight film with an invisible adhesive layer and a fine protective sheet. This material can be used as is, or you can take off the protective layer and stick it onto another surface.
This is one of the thickest of the translucent iterations; comprising the lightweight film sandwiched in-between two layers of transparent PU making it more durable.
The lightweight film laminated on a compact polystyrene backing, which comes in adhesive and non-adhesive versions. The pink version is laminated on a white backing, and the blue on a black backing to enhance the coloration.
This is one of the thickest of the translucent iterations; comprising the lightweight film sandwiched in-between transparent PU and reflective PU making it more durable and with a prismatic effect from one direction.
Les Luminiums sont une gamme de nos matériaux contrecollés à un support aluminium, développée au sein du studio American Supply. En transformant ainsi nos matériaux, nous leur donnons de nouvelles propriétés et proposons de nouvelles possibilités. L’aluminium, léger et souple, nous permet de les maintenir dans une forme après manipulation, et de la changer à volonté. Il est alors possible d’imaginer tous types de paysages comme des montagnes, des rampes de ski, des icebergs, des surfaces planétaires extraterrestres ou les merveilles de votre imagination la plus folle prennent vie!
Pour illustrer leur étrangeté, nous avons créé une petite vidéo pour chaque variation manipulée.
Voici la liste de leur caractère individuel :
SKI-LUMINIUM
Notre Glitter Hexa Ski sur aluminium, un classique intemporel et le premier matériau de la famille luminium, parfait pour créer des montagnes et des scènes de fin d’année hivernale.
MOON-LUMINIUM
Notre Microbille Reflective sur aluminium, une matière reflective qui devient blanche éclatante à la lumière du flash.
FLASH-LUMINIUM
Notre Rainbow Flash sur aluminium, l’homologue sombre du Moon luminium qui devient arc-en-ciel à la lumière du flash.

Notre iconique Magic Mirror adhésif sur aluminium, un film dichroïque aux reflets magiques disponible en bleu ou rose.
BRAISE-LUMINIUM
Un papier pailleté sur aluminium, pour une touche glamour & luxe, ou dans un autre registre pour imiter les braises d’un feu de cheminée.

The Luminiums are a range of our materials on lightweight aluminium support that we have developed. This opens up the different materials to a new world of sculptural possibilities, as the aluminium holds its shape, yet is soft and light enough to be manipulated by hand. You can easily imagine mountain ranges, ski slopes, icebergs, extraterrestrial planetary surfaces, or the wonderlands of your wildest imagination come to life!
To illustrate their individual quirks and character traits, we have made a small video for each variation being manipulated.

This month we experiment with a new 3D support in our material library – Bamboo Pulp. The base support is created using bamboo fibers, that are pressed between two molded metal forms, in an iron. The result is a lightweight and easily reproduced 3D panel, which comes in many different declinations. We experimented with digital printing, glitter projection, flocking, and hand-painting & stripping wrapped around in a bondage fashion. The results were startling, as the panel’s original forms changed with each application… The science of experimentation is truly magical!
Maison & Objet, the self-confessed international authority for home decor, interior design, architecture, and lifestyle culture and trends breezed through Paris again for it’s January edition. With over 3000 exhibitors, it was a fascinating whirlwind of creativity and inspiration!
We focus above on three main trends that struck us in the salon, Recycling, Cardboard & Paper, and Textured Walls, and highlight below some technological developments that caught our eye.
In the Recyclingfield, LLOT LLOV from Germany created a material they called Glacier, in collaboration with cosmetics group Cosnova – a Nail Polish Terrazzo made from discarded nail polish bottles in concrete support. ecoBIRDY, based in Antwerp, collected old children’s toys and recycled them into new design furniture, in an innovative material they call ecothylene® which they have managed to develop to the high safety standards for children – making it both eco-friendly and child-friendly!
In the Cardboard & Paper trend, the work of French artist Marie-Anne Thieffry was an astonishing use of layered cardboard, carved into beautiful spherical lights and figurative busts. Molo Designs from Canada showcased their unique structures in folded paper and cardboard, flexible wall partitions, seating and lights that can be adapted to any space, and reconfigured with ease. A perfect product for the modern city apartment.
Textured Walls were everywhere, giving a new dimension to any interior: we particularly liked Portugal’s Burel Factory, a historical wool manufacturer, who create intricate hand finished wall coverings in finest wool. They are used in hospitality for their acoustic and thermal properties, and they add a touch of luxury to the space. Who could resist couture walls?
We can’t wait for the September edition of Maison et Objet, it is sure to continue to inspire us in ways we can’t even imagine.
Tsunoda Seibee Shoten from Japan creates Bento boxes carved from single blocks of Japanese Cypress wood, that are completely joint free, highlighting the wood’s natural grain. They are unique in their use of glass Nano-Coating which provides stain resistance and durability, whilst meeting the exacting standards of health and safety food regulations, and maintaining the natural beauty of the wood grain. LPJ Studios from Germany work with the leftover yarns and garments from prestigious fashion companies to develop new products. The LPJ Studios Punch Rug caught our eye, using a needle-punch felting technique they take wool based garments and integrate them seamlessly into rug forms that can be wall or flor based. A unique solution for your favorite old sweater!
