What is Mysterious Mirror®?

“The boundary between dreams and reality reflected on the water surface”

There is a legend from old Japan, where craftsmen, inspired by the beauty of nature, breathed life into metal. This legend comes alive today with the “Mysterious Mirror®.” This magical mirror, wavering like the surface of water, spins new tales into spaces.

Artisans at Toyo Stainless Polishing Industry have mastered their unique decorative polishing techniques to engrave elegant ripples created by water onto stainless steel. Each design, such as Ripples, Jeux d’eau, and SUIMEI, carries its own story and captivates all who see it.

This mirror is not just a metal panel. It adds gentle movement and depth to spaces, like ripples created by a droplet in a tranquil pond. While enhancing the allure of metal, it transforms its expression to suit any space artfully.

“Mysterious Mirror®” brings mystical beauty to your projects. A culmination of Japanese tradition and craftsmanship, this product tells a timeless tale and leaves a profound impression on all who view it.

 

The Development of Mysterious Mirror®

“The Birth of Mysterious Mirror®: A Fusion of Tradition and Innovation”

From the fantastical vision of the boundary between dreams and reality reflected on the quiet water surface, the “Mysterious Mirror®” was born. This product, evolving from flat expressions to three-dimensional undulating curvatures, was developed based on the profound understanding of artisan skills and culture at Toyo Stainless Polishing Industry.

Since its foundation in 1968, Toyo Stainless Polishing Industry has dedicated itself to the manufacturing and technological development of metal products. In this history, the effort of the former president since 1989 finally launched as a 3D stainless project in 2012. This innovation was the first step towards “Mysterious Mirror®.”

In 2014, after much effort, the first product of “Mysterious Mirror®,” named “Ripples,” was created. This unique approach skillfully released the internal stress of the metal, bringing out its natural undulation and beauty. This innovative approach required the artisans to masterfully process the hardening-prone stainless steel.

The mirror shines across various industries, such as offices, beauty salons, hospitals, and restaurants. When installed on ceilings or walls, it transcends the hard image of metal, adding a unique artistic element to spaces. It harmonizes with nature, creating beautiful fluctuations with light, reminiscent of babbling brooks or sunlight sparkling through trees, thus crafting an enchanting atmosphere.

“Mysterious Mirror®” is not just an interior material but an art piece that weaves a story of artisan skills and Japanese culture. It breathes new life into modern architecture and interior design, offering an innovative and beautiful presence.

 

Reflections by Mysterious Mirror®

“The beauty of nature reflected in a lake of liquid metal”

In a quiet room, a beam of light illuminates the surface of “Mysterious Mirror®.” At this moment, the mirror transforms into a lake of liquid metal, fantastically reflecting the surrounding trees and greenery of indoor plants. The reflection of green leaves on the mirror feels not just a mere reflection but a vibrant part of nature itself.

 

 

The ripple-like surface of the mirror gently and delicately changes with every sway of the leaves, as if a gentle breeze passed over a lake of liquid metal. This magical scene leads the viewer to a sense of unity with nature, soothing the soul.

 

 

The “Mysterious Mirror®” placed indoors is not just any mirror. It reflects the surrounding beauty, making one feel the breath of nature through it. When greenery is reflected, it appears deeper and more vivid, creating an illusion as if a small forest has emerged indoors.

 

The presence of “Mysterious Mirror®” transforms any indoor space into a stage that fully reflects the beauty of nature. It allows one to forget the hustle and bustle of the city and find a moment of peace and beauty.
