A Brutalist reflection, the Brodzki Mirror by Studio Henry Wilson

The Brodzki Mirror by Studio Henry Wilson draws from the famed sculptural façades of Belgium’s CBR Building, a Brutalist landmark completed in 1970. 

Designed by Constantin Brodzki and Marcel Lambrichs, the building is celebrated for its rhythmic arrangement of precast concrete modules and the deep, rounded window recesses that give the façade a softened, almost sculpted geometry.

Its deep-set oval softens the mass of the carved frame, echoing the building’s distinctive concrete modules and functioning as a small, curated piece of architecture for the wall.

The temperament shifts through material, from the warmth of timber to the rumbled tactility of cast aluminium to the liquid clarity of polished nickel. Each finish reveals the geometry differently, altering the way the form holds light and presence in a space.
