Meet BOB, the Vanity Mirror for the modern era. BOB is designed to meet the needs of the modern individual, where beauty & cosmetics are not just for women but men as well. Being relatively new to the cosmetic field, the variety of men’s cosmetics are far less and thus only requiring a smaller footprint on the table. Also, considering the ever decreasing sizes of housing in metropolitan cities such as Singapore, the footprint of the object in the household itself was just as important. BOB is a compact yet bold and utilitarian unit suited to the needs of a fast paced society; where people strongly value the daily routine of prepping their look before heading out of the house.

Early concept explorations
Customization to individual needs - A normal half-mirror, small rounded mirror & full length mirror can be customized to meet the needs of any modern individual. The varying mirror sizes adds an aesthetic value and character to each mirror.
Flat-pack Friendly - The whole unit can be easily disassembled and flat-packed for transport efficiency.
Small but sufficient storage space - A small housing allows users to put all their necessary cosmetics. Punched holes allow hooks to be used to hang items like hair dryers.
