In my journey towards creating Mürror, I draw upon my diverse background in industrial design and acting, fascinated by the profound impact both disciplines can have on human experiences. To me, design and performance are not just professions but gateways to unlocking new realms of creativity and inspiration.
With a deep-seated belief in the power of playfulness, I set out to craft an experience that celebrates life and the joy of being. Combining the timeless concepts of "smile" and "mirror," I embarked on a quest to surprise and delight people in ways they had never experienced before.
It was a journey marked by collaboration and dedication, as I worked alongside a talented team of programmers and hardware manufacturers to bring Mürror to life. Each iteration brought us closer to our vision, and after several years of development, Mürror stands as a testament to the transformative power of creativity and innovation.
Witnessing people's awe and admiration for Mürror and their own reflection within it has been incredibly rewarding. It's a reminder of the profound impact we can have when we harness the power of design to ignite joy and wonder in others.
My dream for Mürror is simple yet profound—to bring smiles to as many faces as possible and to remind people of the extraordinary power they hold to create moments of joy in their own lives.
The Story of the Name "Mürror"
The name "Mürror" is a playful fusion of two elements close to my heart. The "ü" in "Mürror" represents a smiley face—a universal symbol of happiness and positivity. It's also a nod to my Turkish heritage, as "ü" is a letter in the Turkish alphabet.
Designed in the vibrant city of New York, Mürror embodies the creative energy and innovative spirit that define the Big Apple. Yet, it's also deeply rooted in my Turkish roots, as it's proudly made in Türkiye. This blend of influences from both my home country and my artistic journey in New York gives Mürror its unique character and charm.
Branding and the Packaging Design
The Packaging is designed for safe shipping and handling of the Mürror. Inside the cardboard box, there is a custom-made foam enclosing the Mürror. On the front face of the packaging, there is a list of 100 Reasons to smile, including “the Mürror” as the 100th reason.
