Information

This is a round mirror framed in solid teak with an elegant suspended leather strap, designed by Uno and Östen Kristiansson and produced by Luxus in Vittsjö, Sweden, during the 1950s. The mirror features a circular teak frame with precise joinery and a warm reddish-brown tone, characteristic of mid-century Scandinavian woodworking. The leather suspension strap forms a distinct triangular shape when hung, adding a sculptural element and giving the mirror a balanced and harmonious appearance.

The mirror surface is set deep within the frame, providing a sense of depth and quality craftsmanship. The teak frame shows beautiful grain patterns and a well-preserved finish, displaying only minor signs of usage consistent with its age. The original Luxus label is present on the back, confirming its authenticity and provenance.

Uno and Östen Kristiansson were known for their refined designs that blended functionalism with natural materials, and this piece is a good representation of their work. Luxus was a leading Swedish lighting and furniture manufacturer during the mid-20th century, recognized for its focus on high-quality materials and understated, modern design.

Dimensions are 45 cm wide, 4.5 cm deep, and 60 cm high, corresponding to approximately 17.7 x 1.8 x 23.6 inches.
