Made by Cassina

Designed by Ron Gilad

Ron Gilad approaches the mirror not as a surface but as a proposition. Designed for Cassina, the Deadline collection treats reflection as something contingent: dependent on where you stand, how light enters the room, and what hour of the day it is.

Each piece is constructed from two layers of glass working in concert with a reflective lacquer applied beneath. The result is a depth that resists easy reading. Color, form, and image shift with the viewer's movement, so the object is never quite the same twice. What reads as one composition from the left resolves into something entirely different from the right.

  • Double-layer glass construction with reflective lacquer beneath
  • Optical effects vary with angle of view and quality of incident light
  • Available in an assortment of shapes and colorways

Gilad trained in industrial design and fine art, and his practice consistently questions the assumed function of an object. With Deadline, the mirror becomes a record of time and position rather than a simple tool for reflection. It rewards prolonged looking.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the double-layer glass construction work?

The Deadline mirrors are built from two panes of glass with a reflective lacquer applied to the inner surface. This layering creates optical depth and introduces color shifts and partial transparency that change depending on the viewer's angle and the quality of surrounding light.

What shapes and colorways are available in the Deadline collection?

The Deadline collection is offered in an assortment of geometric shapes and lacquer colorways. The specific options vary by configuration, so consulting a design professional is recommended when specifying for a project.

Who is Ron Gilad and what is his relationship with Cassina?

Ron Gilad is an Israeli-born designer based in New York whose work spans furniture, objects, and installation. He has collaborated with Cassina on several collections, bringing a conceptual sensibility that questions the conventional boundaries between design and art.

How should the Deadline mirror be positioned for best visual effect?

Because the optical effects are angle-dependent, placement relative to natural or artificial light sources significantly influences the reading of the piece. Positioning near a window or a directional light source will intensify the color and depth shifts inherent in the lacquer layers.

Is the Deadline mirror appropriate for use in commercial or hospitality projects?

The Deadline mirror's shifting optical character and refined construction make it a considered choice for high-visibility walls in hospitality, residential, and institutional settings where a piece is intended to anchor a space rather than simply furnish it.
