Description
A round wall mirror, 90cm by 90cm, in black. A circle has no top or bottom, so there is no wrong way round and no crooked. It also reads as softer than its size suggests, because the eye measures the width at the centre rather than at the corners a square would have. At 90cm wide it is wider than a standard interior door. This is the piece the wall is about. It works above a fireplace, a sideboard or a sofa, and it wants the wall largely to itself rather than a gallery of smaller pieces around it.
A dark finish reads as a shape rather than a surface, so the outline does the work and the detail recedes. Against a pale wall that is graphic; against a dark one the piece almost disappears. Bamboo is a grass rather than a timber, which is why it grows back in a few years instead of a few decades and why a bamboo frame weighs so little for its stiffness. The nodes along each cane are visible and are the honest mark of the material.
At this weight an ordinary picture hook into a solid wall carries it, and a plasterboard plug is enough where there is no stud. It hangs horizontally as well as vertically, so it suits either wall. It weighs 3.5kg.
The wall matters as much as the mirror here. Give it a stretch of wall it can own, and check what is behind the plaster before committing to a position — a fixing is easier to plan than to move.

Frequently Asked
Can it hang horizontally?
Yes. It is made to hang either way, so it can go landscape over a console or portrait in a narrower space.
How heavy is it?
3.5kg. Worth knowing before choosing a wall fixing.
What size is it?
90cm wide by 90cm high and 2cm deep. The full dimensions are in the specification table.
What is it made of?
Bamboo and glass. The full composition is in the specification table.
Is it suitable for a bathroom?
No. It is not specified for a humid room, and a damp environment will show at the edges of the finish in time.
Will it look exactly like the photographs?
Close, but not identical. Bamboo varies from piece to piece, so grain, tone and marking differ.
