Toiletpaper mirrors place an image from the magazine onto the wall in the format of a domestic mirror: 54 cm wide by 59 cm high, a glass pane mounted on a wooden frame that Seletti markets with a gold finish. The design occupies a portion of the glass, so that the reflection and the image are superimposed: you are never quite alone when looking into it, making the piece as much a wall-mounted print as a hallway or entryway mirror.
The publisher presents the series as a set of mirrors adorned with the most irreverent images by Toiletpaper, titles each reference "Mirror Gold Frame," and classifies it among its gold-framed wall mirrors. Each piece bears the motif that gives it its name: from one reference to another, only this subject changes, while the frame, dimensions, and price remain identical. Thus, it is the image, and the image alone, that distinguishes the mirrors in the series.
At 54 × 59 cm, the piece is barely taller than it is wide: it fits on a narrow section of wall, above a console or in an entryway, and can be hung at eye level without requiring the clearance of a full-length mirror. The gold wooden frame sets the piece apart from a functional mirror: mounted on a bare wall, it is meant to be looked at as much as used, and the decoration remains legible from a distance like a wall-mounted picture.
