Unless you’re a musician from a 1980s new-romantic pop-group, or a girl, it’s unlikely that you’ll find Pavel Sidorenko’s tiny Pocket Mirror very useful. But for those who need to constantly reapply lipstick on-the-go, the flexible, wallet-friendly mirror is ideal. The shiny steel back of my iPad Touch is getting too scratched to be useful when the Lady steals it to touch-up her make-up, so I may consider this €4 ($5)... 

We featured the GRAF lighting by Successful Living from Diesel a while back, but at ICFF I was able to get a closer look at all of the pieces in the collection, specifically the ones resulted from the partnership with Moroso . Nebula Nine Sofa and Cumulus chair are like large clouds, with generous shapes, soft cushions and stonewashed linen covers, ideal for relaxing and socializing. The frame is in wood throughout, very strong and compact.... 

A new app will turn your iPhone 4 into a mirror, ready to help you apply lipstick or get your hair just right (I’m looking at you, Gadget Lab review supremo Danny Dumas). The combination of a front-facing camera and the hi-res “retina” display turns out to be perfectly for a spot of mobile vanity. The Lady often borrows my iPod Touch to …  Read More →

IOS4 will bring many of the new iPhone’s features to older models, but it won’t add a front-facing camera. To take self-portraits, you’ll need to either guestimate the framing, or spring for the iSnapMe, which is a kind of stick-on periscope for your iPhone. The $20 mirror has a pair of suction cups which hold it in place and reflect your handsome face into the old-fashioned 3MP, rear-facing camera found on your tired old iPhone....

“Antique philosophers often turned to nature for contemplation. Nature was used as a mirror. The Grass Mirror project revisits, in a way, this idea of contemplation. But to convey a contemporary image requires further complexity. Nature overflows, it is multiplied by the different reflections. One’s own image is fragmented. Frontiers between nature and culture are blurred. It is the twist (geometric deformation) of the rectangle which reveals...

The Mirror Watch is both a handy wrist-mounted mirror and a stylish, chunky LED watch, allowing you to stare lovingly at your own visage while covering up your narcissism with the more socially acceptable combo of watch-glance-and-yawn. The watch is from Hong Kong-based Cheuk Kee Lai, and can be had in brushed stainless steel, black, or with a gold-plate. The shiny front panel works like a mirror until you press it to activate the glowing numbers...
