A Furniture Collection Inspired by Narcissim

Through furniture, an imaginary mirror, and self reflection, the story about Greek god Narcissus is told. In this collection, KIMXGENSAPA design studio looks at the positive side of Narcissism, where appreciating and developing oneself brings out sides that were never visible. (Does that make taking selfies ‘ok’?)
