Anna and Sergii Baierzdorf to Present a Curated Showcase of Collectible Design During design /delight in Shanghai
From 10–15 November 2026, Anna and Sergii Baierzdorf will present a curated showcase of collectible design and functional art during the third edition of design /delight at West Bund Art Center in Shanghai.
design /delight is a platform dedicated to contemporary collectible design and functional art within West Bund Art & Design, one of China’s leading art fairs.
Titled “The Land Within”, the showcase landscape, memory, and the connection between people and place. The space, designed by Baierzdorf Studio, draws from the southern steppes of Ukraine and the Kinburn Spit. Open horizons, light, and reflections bring the different stories together.
The project brings together Furn Object, ZEMNA, Yelyzaveta Rudenok / Doinshapes, Natalie Dubrovska, and TEMPROJECT. Each participant approaches the theme through their own experience and material language: geological layers, fragile plants, natural forms, and memory. Together, the works form a multifaceted portrait of Ukraine.
This collectible sculptural metal mirror blurs the boundaries of habitual perception, becoming a physical embodiment of a gateway.
Designed by Anna and Sergii Baierzdorf, the Gate Mirror invites a moment of pause and reflection, encouraging us to look beyond the familiar.
The massive satin-finish stainless steel frame is slightly concave. It gently draws you in, shifting your focus to what is inside. The edges appear torn, as if part of the material has already moved elsewhere while the rest remains forever frozen in the moment of transition.
The wall mirror "invites" you to step forward, pulling your attention inward through the subtle curve of its frame. Resembling a funnel, it creates the visual sensation of being drawn into another space.
Metal is one of our primary materials, and for the Portals Collection we reinvented our techniques to make stainless steel appear unexpectedly vulnerable and soft.
The Gate Mirror is handcrafted by multi-generational artisans from stainless steel and high-clarity mirror glass. Together, we developed a bespoke hand-finishing technique that enhances the softness of the metal while ensuring every collectible mirror is one of a kind.
