Information

This round wall mirror was designed by Uno & Östen Kristiansson and produced by Luxus in Sweden during the 1960s. The mirror features a white lacquered wooden frame with a clean, minimalist profile, characteristic of Scandinavian mid-century design. It is suspended by a natural leather strap, which softens the otherwise geometric composition and adds a warm, tactile element to the design. The use of a leather strap was a recurring motif in the Kristianssons’ work, emphasizing both craftsmanship and functionality.

Uno & Östen Kristiansson were influential figures in Swedish design, celebrated for their work that blended simple, functional forms with carefully chosen natural materials. Their collaborations with Luxus produced a range of lighting and furniture pieces that epitomized the Scandinavian modern aesthetic—balanced proportions, honest materials, and timeless elegance.

This mirror remains a fine example of their approach, combining utility with a decorative quality. The white lacquered surface contrasts subtly with the leather strap, giving it a versatile appearance that allows it to integrate seamlessly into a variety of interiors, from mid-century to contemporary settings.

The mirror is in good vintage condition with minor signs of wear consistent with age, including small surface marks on the lacquer and a patina on the leather strap, both of which contribute to its authenticity.
