I dont have mirrors hanging up in my house, except for the usual - over the sink in the bath. Truthfully, up until now, Ive nurtured an active dislike for mirrors on my walls. My view has been, why put up a mirror when you could hang a photograph, painting or piece of art?
What caught my eye and changed my mind is the design of this mirror. It is layered, with part of its frame resting in front of the mirror itself. I love how the circular shape of the mirror in its frame is contrasted with the rectangular frame. The rectangular frame itself is intriguing - it is so much more than a place to hook a mirror to a wall. It is a three-dimensional shape that seems to both shield the mirror and project it into the room artfully.
The design, shapes and three-dimensional layering of this mirror work together to make it more than a mirror. I see it as fusion of both function and art. Im sure that its many artistic qualities is why Ive reversed a lifelong policy of having no mirrors in the living space in my home.
If I was forced to nitpick to find flaws in this mirror/art project, it would be quite difficult. I could only offer that the edge of the mirror is visible within its circular frame and is not as smoothly polished as I would expect in a product of this quality. Adding an 1/8 lip of the same steel frame material 360 degrees over the edge of the mirror would neatly solve this issue as it would obscure the view of the edge while also maintainI got the integrity of the design. Of course, having the edges of the mirrors polished a bit would also work. I wouldnt suggest doing anything that would add to the production cost - the mirrors price point is perfect.
But thats me looking for something to critique. Its beautiful just as it is, hanging as a piece of art in its own right upon my wall.
Unusual design, well made!
