Space Invaders mirrors by Piero Lissoni for Glas Italia

Invaders

Not exact replica of the arcade aliens, the Space Invaders mirrors by Piero Lissoni for Glas Italia are actually inspired by the pixelated nasties of video games past.

The end result is what you see above, a set of sharp-angled mirrors that can each by hung in four ways, as well as together, to create some kind of fuinctional space age art for your walls.

They're sized around the 80 x 70cm mark, with each one sold separately. Sadly, being designer pieces, they don't come cheap, with prices from £488.
