An object of pure functionality that becomes the bearer of profound
meanings. Oodh is a mirror conceived as a portal, inviting you to go beyond
what appears reflected, in search of meaning and authenticity.
Oodh is inspired by the journey that
designer Lapo Ciatti undertook in
Cambodia to discover its fascinating culture and sophisticated Khmer
architecture. Standing in front of the famous temple complex of Angkor Wat
– compared for its harmonious shapes to the most
remarkable constructions of ancient Greece and Rome – he was so impressed by the large stone portals whose succession
gives life to infinite corridors that he decided to replicate them into a
design object.
Oodh was designed to reproduce precisely these massive doorways. It is in fact a large floor mirror without a lower frame, with
the shape of a portal rather than that of a traditional
mirror; the rest of the frame hints
at the bas-reliefs surrounding the great doors of the temple: a succession of concave and
convex shapes, where each groove has a
precise symbolic reference inspired by ancient divinities.
Oodh is a design object that stays true to the concept behind Opinion Ciatti’s products, that of ‘spices and sauces’
for different spaces, of furnishing
accessories with a pronounced identity capable of giving a unique touch to any room
with their discrete yet intense beauty. Not a spice,
in this case, but a fragrance: Oodh,
synonymous with Agarwood, is a resin that forms on the Aquilaria trees typical
of Southeast Asia and, for its highly recognizable aroma, it is used to produce exquisite incense and
fragrances.
Made of extruded anodized aluminium, it is available in three sizes
and two different finishes (silver and brass). The mirror is secured to the
wall through a simple hooking system, while a back panel guarantees stability,
safety and impact resistance.
