Spotted in the small Paris garden of architect Nicolas Soulier and ceramicist Cécile Daladier, zinc mirror ponds and wall mirrors to reflect light and create the illusion of more space:

Above: Ms. Daladier worked for a decade to perfect the design of her capteurs—water collectors—made of steel, copper, or bronze frames. They hold a shallow pond of water and reflect the sky. For more information, see Assaï, which showcases the couple's collaborative products.

Above: The water collectors capture and enhance several natural elements: wind, sunlight, and rain.
