StudioTwentySeven in Tribeca, NYC: Boldizar Senteski's Corroded Steel Mirrors
Hungarian designer Boldizar Senteski's Erosion collection turns oxidation and corrosion into signed, one-of-a-kind mirrors framed in polished stainless steel. In New York, the Tribeca gallery StudioTwentySeven is the exclusive source, and visits are by appointment.
StudioTwentySeven, the design gallery on Church Street in Tribeca, is presenting Erosion, a new collection of handmade, signed mirrors by Hungarian designer Boldizar Senteski. The works come as a triptych, and the gallery is the exclusive source for them.
Senteski doesn't paint. He works with oxidation, corrosion and the chemistry of metals and glass, distressing and oxidising reflective surfaces so that each mirror is built up like a painting, layer by layer. Rather than dictating every result, he sets up the conditions and lets the material shape itself. Each reaction leaves a lasting mark and deepens the surface, which is why no two pieces match.
The Erosion Mirror 03 listed on the gallery's site dates from 2026. It is silver on glass in an acrylic and polished stainless steel frame, offered at about 47.6 by 47.6 centimeters (1.5 cm deep) or 121 by 121 centimeters (4 cm deep), with custom sizes and finishes on request. Each piece is a unique work, handcrafted in Hungary, and comes with a signature, serial number and certificate of authenticity. In the gallery's photographs, a tall narrow panel sits beside a larger one, divided by a thin seam, and the surface moves between brown and gray stains and pale, cloud-like patches.
The mirrors draw on the cityscape of Budapest, where post-Soviet Brutalism sits beside Baroque, Neoclassical and Art Nouveau grandeur. Raw industrial detail meets traces of opulence, and the surface keeps the marks of time rather than hiding them.
Senteski was born in Budapest in 1992 and completed a master's degree in product design at the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design, where he focused on perceptions of light and space. He worked in fashion, art direction and product design before turning to collectible furniture and objects, then honed his craft at Sebastian ErraZuriz and founded his own studio. He now works between Paris and Budapest.
Pricing is available on request. The New York gallery is at 241 Church Street and sees visitors by appointment only. Inquiries can be sent to enquire@studiotwentyseven.com or by phone at +1 917 225 4901.
