Palette Brooch
This is a Brooch. It was designed by Jiro Kamata. It is dated 2015 and we acquired it in 2022. Its medium is dichroic mirror, corian, silver. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
In this brooch, two rectangular dichroic mirrors are mounted vertically on a flat Corian base causing them to take on an insubstantial or floating quality and creating diaphanous color effects that change with the viewer’s position and fill the space with light while leaving voids between the mirrors.
