Aksel Kjersgaard mirror

This elegant wall mirror was designed by Aksel Kjersgaard and produced by Odder Møbelfabrik in Denmark during the 1950s. It is a fine example of Danish mid-century design, where craftsmanship, restraint, and natural materials come together in perfect balance. Kjersgaard was known for his ability to create furniture that combined simplicity of form with meticulous detailing, and this mirror exemplifies that philosophy with quiet sophistication.

The frame is made of solid teak, a material celebrated for its rich tone, durability, and subtle grain. Each corner is carefully joined, with the dowel details left visible as an intentional part of the design. The softly rounded inner edges give the mirror a sense of depth and refinement, while the overall proportions feel both balanced and modern. Despite its simplicity, the mirror carries a sculptural quality that reveals its maker’s deep understanding of wood and form.

The piece reflects the understated elegance that defines Scandinavian modernism — where function is never separated from beauty, and craftsmanship is elevated through precision and honesty of materials. It would make a timeless addition to any interior, equally at home in a hallway, living space, or bedroom, adding warmth and clarity to its surroundings.

The mirror remains in excellent vintage condition with light, natural signs of use and a lovely patina that enhances its authentic character.

Dimensions are 60 cm wide, 2 cm deep, and 80 cm high (23.6 x 0.8 x 31.5 in)
