Drought is once again serving up a healthy dose of nostalgia in the form of a new statement home decor piece. In the past year alone, the Jake Olshan-helmed design collective has made mirrors in the form of a bloodied knife and, most recently, its iPod Nano-shaped iMirror.

Once again, Drought is tapping into the early days of technology to present a mirror that takes the shape of everyone’s favorite OG app: Microsoft Paint.

Standing as a 4-foot-tall wall mirror, the Drought MS Paint Mirror draws design inspiration from the infamous Windows 95 MS Paint interface. True to form, the mirror features a toolbar on top – with “Drought” as the last clickable option – as well as a function bar on the left side, a scroll bar on the right side, and a palette of paint colors underneath another scroll bar on the bottom.

In addition to the lookbook, Drought also whipped up an immersive campaign video to commemorate the drop. Check it out below.


Take a closer look at the Drought MS Paint Mirror in the gallery above and cop one for $395 USD now at Drought’s official website.
