These silver mirrors are each created by Swedish designer Jenny Nordberg in less than five minutes, using a traditional process involving chemical-infused liquid.
Nordberg showcased the mirrors at Stockholm Design Week in her first solo exhibition, called Fluid Add-Ons.

She creates them by adapting a mirror-making technique dating back to the 19th century. Using liquid silver, she prepares a chemical solution, then pours it onto a sheet of glass and leaves it to develop.
The solution quickly evaporates, leaving a thin layer of silver on the glass surface. But as the liquid is never spread across the whole surface of the glass, each process results in a mirror with a unique aesthetic.

"I am fascinated with this concept of me being out of control," Norberg told Dezeen. "I can't decide how they will turn out, I just pour on the liquid and then the liquid decides," she explained. "It looks like water first, and then it magically shifts into a mirror after a few minutes."

Nordberg spent six months researching and experimenting to develop her technique ? so is keeping the exact method and formula under wraps. But she likens the process to the method of developing analogue photography around 200 years ago.
The project forms a continuation of Nordberg's 3 to 5 Minutes project, which she presented at Stockholm Design Week back in 2015.
