Description
A round wall mirror, 80cm by 80cm, in brushed silver. A round form has no corners, so it reads as softer than a square of the same width and settles more easily into a space where straight lines already dominate. At 80cm it is about as wide as a standard interior door. A mirror is the one piece of decoration that gives something back: it doubles whatever light the room already has, and on the wall opposite a window it does more for a dark room than repainting it would.
Polished cool metals show every fingerprint, which is the trade for the brightness. A brushed version of the same finish hides them almost entirely and still catches the light along the grain. Stainless steel resists corrosion through its own chemistry rather than a coating, so there is no finish to chip and nothing underneath waiting to rust when it does.
It hangs on a triangle hook. One hook, one fixing, and the piece finds its own level — which is the advantage. Choose a hook rated comfortably above the weight rather than exactly at it, because a picture hook rated to the gram is a hook at its limit. It hangs horizontally as well as vertically, so it suits either wall. It weighs 6.5kg.
A narrow surround keeps the mirror as light and space rather than turning it into a framed object, which is what a heavy border does. In a small room that difference is the whole effect. Hang the centre at eye level rather than centring it on the wall. On most walls that is lower than instinct suggests, and it is the difference between a mirror you use and one you only look at.
