What if the surface of a mirror did not reveal clarity but rupture? The
Guframini Broken Mirror, designed by
Snarkitecture, translates this unsettling question into a collectible at 1:8 scale. Known for their installations that distort perception and challenge architectural logic,
Snarkitecture distills their vision into an object that is playful yet profound. Instead of continuity, the mirror becomes fragmentation; instead of truth, irony and radical experimentation. In miniature,
Broken Mirror retains the conceptual power of the original while offering the intimacy of collectible scale.
Material and Illusion
The
Broken Mirror mini is made of soft
polyurethane, precisely molded to reproduce fractured surfaces and jagged shards. Available in black and white, it emphasizes the contrast between fragility and solidity. Lightweight, tactile, and resilient, it embodies
Gufram’s ability to destabilize expectations and overturning logic. Every irregular cut and crisp edge is faithfully reproduced, ensuring that even in reduced scale, the object keeps its sculptural presence and conceptual strength.
Part of a Radical Collection
The
Snarkitecture miniature is part of the
Guframini collection, which condenses
Gufram’s most iconic works into collectible form. Alongside Bocca, Pratone, and the legendary
Cactus by Drocco & Mello, it adds a contemporary perspective to a lineage of radical icons. It naturally dialogues with the historic provocations of
Studio 65 x Gufram and
Ceretti, Derossi & Rosso, while also finding resonance with eclectic collections such as
Ibride Furniture. In this way,
Broken Mirror bridges eras, connecting past radicalism with today’s experiments.
A Sculptural Manifesto
To own the
Guframini Broken Mirror is to embrace a conceptual statement about perception itself. By transforming a symbol of clarity into fracture,
Snarkitecture reminds us that design can be distortion as much as reflection. This miniature embodies both the irreverence of
Gufram and the intellectual boldness of Snarkitecture, making it more than décor: a cultural artifact where art, design, and collectible culture converge.
