Narcissus’ Trinity

2022 / Speculative Design

Narcissus' Trinity speculates as functional furniture in a dysfunctional society, easing the vice of comparison across different levels of beauty standards. It consists of a dressing table which includes two vanity mirrors and a small podium. This furniture allows for two individuals to use it simultaneously as they dress up and adorn themselves in their everyday routine. Besides tempting its users to compare the image reflected in their mirror with the other person getting ready in front of them, the trinity is concluded with the image of an alluring peacock that exposes its feathers as a symbol of unattainable beauty.

The piece has been produced through an exercise of bricolage and adhocism, in which a stool and two mirrors serve as the foundation for the three-user vanity.
