mirrors an age old tradition
Yesterday i happened upon a great internet article “The Louise’s Papers” about the history and legacy of the mirror. From it’s early creation out of rock crystal and silver in antient Syria and Egypt to it’s mass produced illiterations today the mirror has been a steadfast componant in our culture. Like with many design crafts the secret behind the mirrors’ creation was safeguarded with steadfast rigidity as with the extreme example of the isle of Murano during the Renaisance periord where the craftsman were forbidden to leave and punished by death if they did. And, because mercury was a huge ingredient in the creation of the mirror during early times those that did not leave often met an early death or went crazy anyway!
Today we work with a vendor who’s taken the mirror to yet again another station with his patented technology incorporated into his plasma frames. A special formulation of two way glass, carved wood and other decoration and special venting make his mirror one that could sit in the most formal of homes hiding a television in what would otherwise have been nothing less than a travesty. (inquire at the store for more info on this.)
Take a minute and give this one a read, it’s worth the effort.

Great idea, but will this work over the long run?

the world continues to change it’s relationship with television, just recently there has been this huge push to watching things in 3d, i guess we wont know what will happen in 10 years but in the worse case scenario for the vendor i mentioned at least you’ll have a beautiful mirror to look at even if your tv pops’s up from the floor.
