A reach-around mirror
This
is a picture of a bathroom mirror in a hotel room in
New York City. The hotel is a
designer hotel having special fixtures and
decorations. Unfortunately, the bathroom mirror
and the shelves
behind the mirror weren't designed to work well
together.
The mirror doesn't open up like a typical bathroom
mirror. So to see and access what is on the shelves
behind the mirror is difficult. You have to look
and reach around the mirror. (See arrows.)
By-the-way, to see what is on the
left side of the shelves
requires standing in the bathtub!
Design suggestion
When you design an object, you need to consider the environment that it is used in. In this case the mirror and shelves are fine by themselves, but they don't work well together. One way to solve the problem would be to have a mirror that opens like a typical bathroom mirror.
