GooseGūss Table Mirror Bright Aluminum
The GooseGuss tabletop mirror was created for the East Hotel in Hamburg Germany, a boutique hotel and restaurant which reimagined the ruins of an old iron foundry into a destination boutique hotel.
“Cast metal” in German is “Guss Metal”. While working on the hotel, Mozer lived in the old Goose Market. From this experience, came the inspiration for the gooseneck form of the cast ("guss") mirror and also the GooseGuss Table.
JMA used foundry processes and imagery in the East Hotel project to preserve the spirit of the foundry and evoke the feeling of discovery experienced by a Westerner in Asia for the first time.
