Art Series: A closer look behind the Inception Mirror

A hotel lobby elegantly reimagined with a twist that only QT could conjure. Where reflection meets illusion, the ‘Inception Mirror’ by Timothy Oulton is a tasteful addition to QT Auckland’s lobby ambience, an artwork that holds a labyrinth of possibilities.

Timothy Oulton is a British furniture and lifestyle brand, with over 50 galleries across the world.

Inspired by infinity mirrors from the 1970s, the ‘Inception Mirror’ lights up to reveal a seemingly endless line of reflections, appearing smaller and smaller as they fade into the distance. When it’s turned off, it becomes an elegant mirror, framed in thick flat brass. Once turned on, it’s as if a portal has been opened, leading you into another dimension. LED antique bulbs have been placed behind the frame for a lighting effect that’s soft and mellow. Handcrafted with the finest detail, the ‘Inception Mirror’ is a spectacular showcase of artistry and drama.

On your next stay or visit to Esther, take a moment. Peer inside and appreciate this interplay of light and reflection, a journey into infinity that beckons you to explore further.
