Congrats, you just discovered May Again’s very first Inspiration Capsule in Mod’arte’s pop-up store in Antwerp!

From overstock bathroom mirrors and fencing on a farm to a dynamic design object: let us present you doet_’s RE-FLECT mirror!

The story

RE-FLECT arose from a simple question: How can a large mirror be designed using only residual materials?

The result is a modular system made from scrap materials, allowing you to stack and connect components into a mirror wall that adapts to your space and needs.

The RE-FLECT mirror doubles as a room divider, breaking up interiors into unexpected views and perspectives. Its modularity sparks a lively interaction between environment, viewer, and object – constantly reshaping itself into new formats and compositions.

Minimalistic interior with a wooden rectangular mirror and a wooden-frame side panel, illuminated by natural sunlight, with a kitchen area in the background.
Interior view of a bright room with a large window showing a cityscape. A mirror with wooden pillars and horizontal wires in front is mounted on the wall, creating a reflective surface that reveals part of the room and a person’s arm.

The Upcycling Process

  • Wooden posts sourced from old garden fencing → cut with precision slots to hold mirror panels.

  • Surplus bathroom mirrors from Rotor DC

  • Holes drilled top & bottom to allow modules to connect securely with dowels.

This mirror is part of the very first Inspiration Capsule curated by May Again – proving how demolition leftovers can be transformed into flexible, circular design systems that reinvent space and perspective.
