Pivot is a revolving self-standing mirror that also works as a 360-degree object. It has a solid aluminium structure and mirror on one side, and black painted glass on the other.
Aluminium is usually regarded as a monochrome material but here its nature is tempered and enriched with a delicately irregular surface which casts shadows of varying depths on the frame.
Rossella Faraci
is an architect and designer. Born in Sicily, she trained in Italy and the UK, to where she moved in 2001. Working mainly on residential and independent commercial spaces, her research focuses on design as part of a wider discourse of cultural and social
significance. Design is a powerful tool for change. All at once it is a material and a symbolic, poetic and political gesture, opening up new or simply interesting possibilities.
In her design, the morphology, the tactile and sensory properties of materials, practical and
functional design considerations, small and big scale, are all equally important. Rejecting the theme of the dialectic relationship between natural and manmade materials, Rossella celebrates instead the fertile experience of an inclusive hybridising attitude in design.
