extended mirror
20mm




A bespoke series of mirrors made from recycled human hair waste and recycled mirror glass. The materials are collected from eight barber shops and hairdressers in the borough of Kensington and Chelsea as part of Locally Grown, Sanne’s design residency project at the Design Museum. The mirrors are handmade with traditional craft techniques such as spinning and ropemaking. As is typical with Sanne’s work, making rope with human hair is a slow and mindful process involving sorting, cleaning and processing.

All mirrors featuring a 18mm thick rope, ranging in different colours and hues, from deep black to pastel blonde. Featuring recycled mirror glass and reclaimed wood. The mirror can be positioned according to the person’s height, making it ideal for any position.


100% human hair, sourced and made in London, UK

Details

As a tribute to Sanne’s hairdresser collaborators, each of the mirrors is named after one of them. Since the launch of the mirrors at the London Design Festival in September 2022 as part of Brompton’s Design District, the mirrors were on display at each of the hairdressers and are available for purchase. A part of the proceedings will go back to the hairdressers and a part will be donated to Choose Love and The Bike Project aiding the refugee and homelessness crisis.

Extended is a series of eight mirrors which reflect on our sense of comfort and belonging in hairdressers and barbershops and are made using hair rope and recycled mirror glass collected from barber shops and hairdressers in Kensington and Chelsea.

These mirrors were first launched during London Design Festival, as part of Jane Withers’ curated programme Make Yourself At Home at Brompton Design District in September 2022. The extended mirrors have been widely published in leading national and international press including The Sunday Times, CNN and Design Week.
