A Designer Game: The Tetris Mirror by Julia Dozsa for Fiam Italia

The first set of modular mirrors I saw were from Ikea. In a half-wave shape multiplied by as many sets of three or four that you wanted, they fit neatly together or could be spaced apart slightly for a different effect altogether. Now the idea of modular mirrors has evolved into other shapes and sizes, like the 2010 design of the Tetris mirror by Julia Dozsa for Fiam Italia.

The Modular Tetris Mirror by Julia Dozsa for Fiam Italia Represents the Retro Game in Style

Instead of the human-sized piece mirrors that San Francisco dwellers like myself – who used to live there with no car – could not truck home no matter what how good the screaming deal we snatched it for was, a mirror like the Tetris is both more interesting than a half-wave shape, and much easier to get around.

This set of modular glass mirrors can be arranged in a wide variety of ways, each producing a different graphic pattern, or mosaic of shapes that are reminiscent of our favorite game of fast-acting organization. Although different colors they are not, nor do they include the long, narrow or squat, square pieces, the Tetris by Julia Dozsa does oddly-shaped room designs a favor with its flexibility. Choose between the base dimensions of three different sizes (that can be manipulated in your own way): 80cm L x 66.5 cm W, 79.8 L x 39,9 cm W, or 66.5 L x 53.2 cm W.

Consider a Tetris mirror aside your dining room table, accentuating the middle centerpiece or extending along the entire table for a sideways glance whenever necessary. It would also make a great bedroom mirror behind your bed’s headboard or next to your closet for a quick check after dressing. Each piece is made in Italy by Fiam Italia, which has been around since the early 1970s, devoted to the art of making a wide selection of glass furnishings and products by many different designers.
