Ligne Roset NEW BAÏKAL Wall mirror with adjustable elements

The Baïkal mirror is one of the most significant creations by designer André-William Blandenier, first presented in the 1980s.‎ This iconic model has become part of important museum collections, including: Musée d’Art et d’Histoire (Maison Tavel) in Geneva, permanent collection; Museum für Gestaltung (Museum Bellerive) in Zurich, permanent collection.‎ It is also cited in numerous books on Swiss design and, thanks to its presence in advertisements, music videos, and theatrical sets, it has achieved great media success, consolidating its status as a design classic today.‎ The prototype created in 1985 was subsequently produced and marketed by various companies, which refined its technical execution.‎ Today, the Baïkal mirror is re-proposed by Ligne Roset under the new name New Baïkal.‎ The name New Baïkal recalls the designer's interest in Russia, born from reading Dostoevsky.‎ Composed of nine orientable squares fixed on joints, the mirror originated from a crumpled photograph, whose folds fragmented the image: a vision that inspired André-William Blandenier.‎ Thanks to its orientable elements, New Baïkal allows for the creation of a dynamic wall surface that captures and redistributes light, transforming the mirror into an authentic object of wall art.‎
