At DDW, we present our startup, mirroRE, designing and executing Iranian mirror craftsmanship, highlighting its unique bespoke nature, resourcefulness in circularity, and contemporary potential for collaboration; all reflecting and resonating with the future of the interior design market.
Mission and Vision: Timeless reflections of tomorrow’s interiors off mirrors from the past
In the early 17th century, new glass mirrors were sent to Iran. Broken in transit, they were reimagined through traditional Iranian craftsmanship, blending resourcefulness with creativity in a new style known as Iranian Mirrorwork, or “Ayeneh-kari.” Inspired by this heritage, we now apply the same approach within the circular economy, and Resourcefulness lies at the core of our vision at mirroRE (Mirror REflection REimaging).
By activating the contemporary potential of Iranian mirror work, characterized by its bespoke nature, unique reflective quality and resourcefulness in circular and upcycling design, we craft a meaningful dialogue with current interior design trends, allowing designers and creative professionals to embed mirrorwork into any form of their creative designs.
We, with a mirror in hand, reflect the light of the past into tomorrow’s interiors, which we believe embodies one of the meanings of circularity.
REFLECTION (REady For LEverage & Craft collaboraTION)
Reflection, as one of the eye-catching qualities in Iranian mirrorwork and essence of a mirror, has shed light on our strategy. We are ready to scatter and amplify the light of ideas and innovations off our mirrors. By leveraging the collaboration and interplay of different perspectives and surfaces, we craft a distinct and unique path, which we call innovation.
At mirroRE (Mirror Reflection Reimaging), we have a dedicated program tailored for each type of collaboration.
Are you a creative professional, such as a designer, architect, or interior designer?

Rooted in a partnership-driven strategy, our hands are ready to tango with robotic arms, skilled hands, and any other initiatives to reflect the future of interiors by crafting a profound sense of presence, inherently embedded in craft and art.
MIRROR STORYTELLERS; We are storytellers of mirrors, deeply eager to reflect.
Don’t throw away your mirror, its reflection tells your story; this slogan is central to our collaboration with local cultural centers as part of an urban network which aligns perfectly with our circular approach and behavioral strategy. Through events, workshops, and unveiling sessions, we engage our community in discovering the stories behind each mirror. This is not only our marketing strategy but also our source of both inspiration and materials. These interactive experiences celebrate craftsmanship and invite the local community to share their mirror stories, which are reflected in our projects and designs.
Are you a cultural center passionate about circularity and craft, and committed to engaging your community? We are ready to bring our mirrors, stories, and workshops to your center or neighborhood.
