The DCW Editions MbE mirror is a design-forward reinterpretation of a classic, everyday object. Inspired by the mirrors once found in the hat department of the iconic La Samaritaine in Paris, this piece reimagines traditional function through a bold and unconventional lens. Where the originals were mounted vertically to wooden benches, the MbE flips expectations—literally. By inverting the mirror and using industrial-style plumbing brackets, the design transforms a simple utility item into an artful statement.

Initially introduced as part of a scenography concept for DCW’s bathroom lighting displays, the MbE mirror quickly garnered attention from design enthusiasts and professionals alike. Responding to popular demand, DCW brought this compelling concept into production. The result is a mirror that pairs history with irreverent charm, offering an unexpected visual twist to bathrooms and living spaces.

Despite its industrial roots, the latest iteration of the MbE refines the look—ditching the raw plumbing clamps for a more polished finish while retaining its upside-down charm. Whether installed above a vanity or along a corridor wall, the MbE mirror invites a second glance. Its presence is as much about storytelling as it is about reflection, and its unique mounting method encourages users to rethink the objects that populate their spaces. True to its origins, it still playfully reminds: “Please Watch Your Head.”
