Idea on this project came as a desire to see more Albanian authentic products in shops of souvenirs, instead of getting some bad and random imitations from other foreign countries, which got industrialized products. Why mirror? First, i see Gjirokastra as in legends, very similar to the beautiful princess Argjiro, but at the same time with many hidden mysteries. Second it’s a product with a function , so it comes as something beautiful and practical. Motives ! Motives about this project I got from architecture of the city and interiors of houses in Gjirokastra. So I built three models :
1) “Pomegranate” mirror;
2) “Clock tower” mirror;
3) “Rosette” mirror
