Uno & Östen Kristiansson mirror

This round mirror, designed by Uno & Östen Kristiansson and produced by Luxus in Vittsjö, Sweden during the 1950s, features a distinctive blue lacquered wooden frame paired with a suspended leather strap. The frame is crafted from bentwood, forming a seamless circular shape with a smooth, glossy surface. The deep blue lacquer enhances the mirror’s sculptural presence, creating a striking contrast with the natural brown leather strap, which functions both as a practical hanging element and an aesthetic detail.

Uno & Östen Kristiansson were Swedish designers celebrated for their refined, minimalist approach to mid-century Scandinavian design. Their collaboration with Luxus, a company known for high-quality lighting and furniture, often showcased clean geometric forms and inventive material combinations. This mirror exemplifies their craftsmanship, harmoniously blending wood, leather, and glass to create a piece that is both visually compelling and functional.

The mirror is in good vintage condition, showing minor wear typical of its age, particularly on the lacquered surface. The leather strap has developed a natural patina, reflecting the original material’s aging over time.

Measuring 45 cm in diameter, 4.5 cm in depth, and 60 cm in total height including the strap (17.7 x 1.8 x 23.6 inches), this mirror offers a balanced and elegant design suitable for a variety of interior settings.
