Part of a collection of designer mirrors, hybrid objects of great construction mastery, created by Ron Gilad combining constructive engineering and fine cabinet-making. The Deadline mirror '60 Crossing Paths' by Cassina consists of two sheets of glass with a space of 12 mm and a frame in ash wood. The frame is available in natural ash and black dyed.

The mirrors making up the Deadline collection by Ron Gilad are ingeniously designed hybrid objects, combining premier engineering and carpentry skills of the highest order. 16 unique pieces, each set in its own black or white ashwood frame, each of which boasts a different texture and shape. Every piece is composed of two sheets of glass, 12mm apart. The front face is silvered, the back being coloured orange, blue, or red. These colours are reflected in the second mirror, to create a subtle interplay of graphic shapes. The frame comes apart so the mirrors can be cleaned. It is fitted with high-profile joints, the better to emphasise that this is an example of craftsmanship. The oblong, square, or rectangular frames highlight the difference between each option, reinforcing the idea of the unique nature of the work of art. **Deadline mirror launch by Ron Gilad @ Cassina IXC, Japan**

Ron Gilad’s hybrid objects combine material wit with aesthetic play; they sit on the fat, delicious line between the abstract and the functional. Gilad is fascinated with philosophizing about the common objects we live with. His work, which vary from sculptures to production pieces, have no “expiration date” and reside in both public and private collections worldwide.

The glass panes have silver (reflective) stripes on the front which create a cross pattern. The backside of the stripes is lacquered in red, which is reflected by the pane on the back, creating fascinating graphical effects, which change depending on the angle you look at them.. The removable frame allows the cleaning of the mirror and is equipped with visible joints that enhance the carpentry.
