With its simplicity and bold design, the elegant Cuspid Oval Mirror adheres to Garrido’s ethos of fusing contemporary design with exquisite craftsmanship. Executed in nickel-plated metal the frame draws inspiration from Cubism. The sculptural personality of the mirror lends to the senses of balance and design, offering the viewer an exciting composition and Avant-guard aesthetic. Showcasing several techniques mastered at GARRIDO workshop, the vertical facets are worked with two different embossed textures and anthracite dyed elements, showcasing the riches of the graphite surface treatment.
CUSPID COLLECTION
The Cuspid Collection is one of the earliest collections designed by Juan and Paloma Garrido. Developed at the early stages of the new era of GARRIDO workshop, the collection strongly references the craft of silversmiths. It showcases the superlative skill of GARRIDO as masters of silver, artfully displaying numerous traditional techniques rarely used these days. The collection experiments with and challenges the technical skills of soldering, cold-bending, forging, polishing and embossing. Using geometrical shapes and angularity, the collection alludes to Cubism, forming a study of three dimensionality through volume and line. Similarly to Cubism the Cuspid Collection uses broken up forms and creates an illusion of presenting a multitude of viewpoints in a greater context.
