Carving is considered one of the least efficient processes in manufacturing — minimized wherever possible to save time and cost. This mirror was born from that very inefficiency. The texture of wood, brought to life through painstaking polishing, is something that can only be cultivated through time. It is, by every measure, an unproductive way to work. And yet, it is precisely that resistance to efficiency that gives this piece its form — a shape that could not exist any other way.

削り出しは、製造において非効率な工程とされ、できる限り省かれることが多い。このミラーは、あえてその非効率の中から生まれた。磨き抜かれた木の手触りは、時間をかけることでしか育まれない、唯一無二のものだ。生産性とは対極にある作業。しかしそれでこそ生まれる、削り出しにしか宿らない造形がある。
