New York City’s design and art scene has a compelling new addition with the arrival of Boldizar Senteski’s latest body of work at StudioTwentySeven. Known for challenging the conventional boundaries between utilitarian objects and fine art, the Hungarian artist has introduced the Erosion Collection—a striking triptych of handmade mirrors that embrace oxidation, corrosion, and the relentless passage of time not as flaws, but as foundational elements of creation. Rather than serving purely as functional reflective surfaces, these pieces are meticulously designed to reveal the complex, unpredictable intricacies of material transformation.
The collection bridges the ambiguous space where industrial design intersects with sculptural expression. Framed in highly polished stainless steel, the mirrors draw deep inspiration from the rugged textures of the urban environment. Senteski looks to Brutalist architecture, raw concrete facades, and weathered structural materials to inform the visual language of his work. Through a meticulous process involving oxidation, silvering, and repeated layering, the surfaces undergo a continuous physical metamorphosis.
Reflecting on the conceptual origins of the series, Senteski points directly to his fascination with metropolitan landscapes. "I’ve always been drawn to the urban environment; the way it carries the marks of time and holds a record of its own transformation," the artist shares. "I wanted to capture the beauty of change with this new collection, using oxidation and corrosion as a way of allowing time to become part of the work itself."
Creating each piece demands a careful, deliberate balancing act between the artist’s initial intentions and the unpredictable nature of chemical reactions. Senteski does not seek to completely control the final outcome; instead, he acts as a facilitator who sets the stage for the material to take on a life of its own. "I establish the conditions for the process to unfold but ultimately allow the material to shape itself," he explains. "There’s something special about the way each piece finds its own form. Every mirror in the collection is unique, carrying traces that can never be replicated."
Handcrafted entirely in Hungary, each of the three mirrors in the triptych stands as an individual, signed work of art. To underscore their authenticity and collectibility, every piece is accompanied by an official certificate of authenticity. The collection is currently available exclusively through StudioTwentySeven in New York City, with pricing available upon request for interested collectors and interior architecture professionals.
At StudioTwentySeven, the introduction of Senteski’s Erosion Collection invites audiences to reconsider the relationship between object and reflection. Visitors are encouraged to encounter each mirror not merely as a household accessory, but as an artifact deeply shaped by time, physical process, and the element of chance. Through this body of work, Senteski continues to solidify his reputation as a visionary creator capable of transforming the ordinary decay of industrial materials into enduring, poetic statements of modern design.
