Round mirror
This round mirror, produced in Sweden during the 1950s, is a fine example of mid-century Scandinavian modern design, featuring a handcrafted rattan frame. The frame is composed of tightly woven rattan in a natural brown tone, with an outer decorative border made up of interwoven loops, creating an intricate and organic aesthetic. The symmetrical radial pattern of the frame enhances the mirror’s visual depth while maintaining a lightweight and airy presence.
The use of rattan aligns with the mid-century Scandinavian design ethos, which emphasized natural materials. Rattan, valued for its durability, warmth, and ability to create harmonious interiors, was frequently used in both furniture and decorative objects of the era. Its flexibility and craftsmanship made it an ideal choice for creating visually appealing yet practical designs.
The mirror remains in good vintage condition, with minimal signs of wear that are consistent with its age. The craftsmanship of the rattan frame has been well preserved, and the overall structure remains intact.
The dimensions of the mirror are 55 cm in width (21.7 inches), 2 cm in depth (0.8 inches), and 55 cm in height (21.7 inches). This mirror serves as both a functional object and a striking decorative piece, embodying the natural elegance and simplicity of mid-century Scandinavian design.
