Uno & Östen Kristiansson mirror
This wall mirror is a rare design by Uno & Östen Kristiansson, produced by Luxus in Vittsjö, Sweden. It features a circular oak frame with a warm, natural grain and a fine central inlay detail, giving the mirror a distinctive Scandinavian character. The frame is mounted on a pivoting steel bracket that allows the mirror to be easily tilted and adjusted, making it highly functional in addition to its sculptural presence.
Uno & Östen Kristiansson were well-known Swedish designers who specialized in lighting and mirrors during the mid-20th century, often working with materials such as wood, glass, and acrylic to create designs with a timeless, minimal aesthetic. Their work for Luxus reflects the brand’s dedication to quality craftsmanship and understated modernity. The mirrors they designed became iconic for their combination of refined joinery and practical adjustability.
This piece belongs to the mid-century Scandinavian modern tradition, characterized by its clean lines, focus on natural materials, and harmony between form and function. The oak frame has been well-preserved and shows only minor signs of use, with a rich patina that highlights the grain pattern of the wood. The mirror retains excellent reflective clarity, and the hardware remains sturdy and functional.
