The Mirror Edit: 10 Mirrors That Will Make You Reflect

On the cusp of functional and decorative, the ten mirrors curated here bring both light and a sense of personality to the spaces they inhabit. They offer a moment of reflection – literally and figuratively – and elevate our living environments in a simple, yet visually intriguing manner.

The variety of materials and techniques used to create each piece highlights the range of design philosophies explored by their makers. Some are experimental in their creation, as in Troels Flensted’s use of heat to distort stainless steel and studio b severin’s ode to Impressionist paintings; some highlight established craft traditions, as in Pani Jurek’s use of cabinet making techniques and Zanellato/Bortotto Studio’s use of Murano glass; and some are playful in their construction, as in Klemens Schillinger’s bust-mounted mirror and Sara Lundkvist’s sci-fi inspired series. Their combination of aesthetics and functionality gives them a dual purpose and reflects the breadth of inspiration and craft skills available to their makers.

This edit features pieces by Troels Flensted, Charlotte Juillard, Pani Jurek, Tero Kuitunen, Sara Lundkvist, Klemens Schillinger, studio b severin, David Taylor, and Zanellato/Bortotto Studio. 

Troels Flensted, “Perception – Floor”

“Perception” is a collection of stainless steel mirrors. By heating the edges of the mirrors, the stainless steel starts to warp and reveal different colours. When looking in the mirror up close, the reflection is perfect, however, from a distance, the surroundings start to distort. The collection of mirrors creates colourful new perceptions of yourself and your surroundings.

Charlotte Juillard, “Inti” Mirror

“Inti” is a concrete mirror. Charlotte Juillard was inspired by the rites and symbols of Native American culture in which decor and graphics are the expression of a cultural strong identity. Inti was the sun god, source of heat and light, protector of the Inca people. An allegory that resonates with the powerful role of a mirror in an interior. “Inti” Mirror has been thought of as a wall jewel, suggestive and enigmatic.

Sara Lundkvist, “Portal” Mirrors

Through glass, Sara Lundkvist investigates various phenomena from nature, myths, and spirituality where she works with questions concerning authenticity, values, aesthetic and social aspects related to material cultures and their artifacts. The common inspiration for the glass objects comes from the New Age movement, the Sci-Fi and the fantasy scene such as the kryptonite stone or the portal stargate where she tries to get her objects to look like they come from another world.

studio b severin, “Design Impressionism” Mirror

In a poetic manner, “Design Impressionism” rethinks the interrelations of 19th-century window glass production against a backdrop of emerging Impressionist painting. The mirror from the collection “Design Impressionism” captures the subjective, fleeting, and temporary aspects of self-presentation by reflecting light and colors like a surface of the water, moved by the wind.
