Description

The Fendo wall mirror is designed by Ctrlzak for Mogg. It is a stunningly unusual wall mirror with a serious message.

Modern extinction rates of vertebrates have increased drastically in the last 500 years. The main cause for this is none other than man himself, directly or indirectly.

Fendo’s design is based on two mammals that could still be found in large numbers in Africa a few centuries ago, but were hunted to extinction by humans: the Bluebuck (Hippotragus Leucophaeus) and the Bubal hartebeest (Alcelaphus buselaphus buselaphus).

The mirror takes the form of two sculptural objects that replicate the shape of the animals’ heads & characteristic horns, while a mirror is placed where the animal’s face would originally be.

Humans complete the work with their own faces, giving birth to a new creature which is at the same time the hunter and the hunted. The Fendo mirrors are hybrid objects balancing at the crossroad between art and design.

The frame and horns are made from resin. Available in two sizes, in black or white color. An optional stand allows for the mirror to be free-standing rather than wall-mounted.
