Open Dressing is a collaboration between Johan Viladrich and Lauriane Heim, and the piece sits squarely within Viladrich's broader interest in structural transparency. The object merges 2 distinct typologies, a bench and a mirror, into a single form made from solid aluminium. Rather than attaching one to the other, a third element does the connecting work: a platform that extends the lines of both the bench and the mirror outward, unifying them into a coherent whole without subordinating either to the other.

The result is a dressing object that reads first as sculpture. The bench and mirror share the same material, the same surface treatment, and the same structural logic, so the eye moves between them without registering a seam. The platform both grounds the piece physically and resolves it visually, its horizontal plane extending the verticality of the mirror and the seat height of the bench into a single continuous gesture.

Viladrich's practice is built around the idea that joints, connections, and structural elements should be made visible rather than concealed. Open Dressing applies that logic at the object level: the means by which 2 functions are unified is itself the defining formal move of the piece.
