MIRROR: GEOFFREY

Geoffrey is a mirror/clothes stand, the pared-down design of which renders it minimalist whilst its dimensions (H 192 x W 147.5 cm) make it quite spectacular! A mirror to check one’s reflection, a dish for one’s keys, a rail on which to hang a scarf or umbrella : Geoffrey is a highly graphic useful object which is at once stable and light, with a spectacular presence whilst ‘opening up’ the space around it thanks to its large mirror.
