This picture's really messing with my head. The thing on the left that looks like a mirror clearly isn't (and I have to wonder what it
is, since $400 is a bit pricey for this fixtures sale!), while the panel on the right that looks like a window appears to be a mirror. Or perhaps it's a window that looks out to a mirror in the background? I don't know! I'm bad at this sort of brain game... 😃
Confusion about what's a mirror and what isn't aside, this part of the store does look pretty nice.
ReplyDeleteA long time ago, I used to work in a research lab that had a one-way mirror for observing research participants. These are the types of mirrors that Safeway and such used in their upstairs offices in a lot of the 1970s stores and such. Anyway, unlike the Safeway mirrors, our mirrors were kind of shoddy and the participants could see through the mirror and see us observers unless we really tried hard to hide ourselves. Maybe that $400 fixture has a pane of one-way mirror glass that's as even worse than what we used at that research lab, lol.
Yeah -- most of this store (at least the top two levels) was!
DeleteHa -- you'd think a place like that would invest in better two-way mirrors than Safeway, which isn't fooling anyone with their mirrors!
Ha! This is pretty strange... As for what the panel on the left is at least, I think it's just a continuation of the circular enclosure. Looks like they may have been selling each of those pieces individually -- yeah, like anyone is going to buy those!
ReplyDeleteAh -- that makes sense. Well, it makes sense what it is -- it doesn't make sense that they thought someone would buy it, especially for that sort of price! How much use could they possibly be to people??
