Uno & Östen Kristiansson table mirror
This rare table mirror was designed by Uno & Östen Kristiansson and produced by Luxus in Vittsjö, Sweden, during the 1950s. The piece features a circular mirror mounted in a finely crafted oak frame, which can be tilted and adjusted. The mirror is supported by a slim vertical rod that connects to a sculptural tripod base, giving the piece both stability and a light, elegant appearance.
Uno & Östen Kristiansson were known for their ability to combine functional design with refined proportions and a strong material presence. Their work for Luxus often featured Scandinavian woods and a focus on craftsmanship, making their pieces highly collectible examples of mid-century Swedish design. This mirror reflects their philosophy of creating objects that are practical yet sculpturally engaging.
The frame is made of solid oak with visible finger joints, showcasing the designers’ attention to detail and commitment to high-quality woodworking. The surface has developed a warm, natural patina over time, adding to its authenticity and character. The overall design is simple yet expressive, perfectly representing the clean lines and natural materiality characteristic of Scandinavian modernism.
The mirror is in good vintage condition with minor signs of use and age-appropriate wear. The oak frame and base are structurally sound, and the glass remains clear with only slight traces of aging.
