Discover a geometric mirror in solid teak

This is a mirror reduced to its essentials: a clean geometric shape, 45 x 95 cm, framed in solid teak wood with a natural finish. There is no bevel, no ornament and no applied colour, which is precisely why it settles into so many rooms. A tall, narrow rectangle reads as a vertical line on the wall, and that line is useful: it lifts a low ceiling, balances a wide piece of furniture below it and gives an otherwise empty stretch of plaster a point of focus.

Solid teak is used rather than a veneer, so the grain visible on the face continues through the section of the frame. Teak carries its own oils, which keeps it stable in humid rooms and gives the timber the warm honey tone that deepens with age. Left in a natural finish, the wood shows that colour directly instead of hiding it behind a heavy stain.

Brightness, spaciousness and a simple fixing

A mirror earns its place by what it does to a room. This one adds brightness by bouncing available light back across the space, and it creates a sense of spaciousness by extending the apparent depth of the wall it hangs on. Both effects are strongest when the mirror faces a window or a lamp rather than a blank wall, so think about what it will reflect before deciding where it goes. In a narrow hallway or a small bathroom, that choice changes how large the room feels.

Hanging is straightforward: the mirror comes with a hook on the back, so only a wall fixing appropriate to your surface is needed. Because the shape is plain and the timber tone warm, it complements traditional and contemporary schemes equally, and it can be combined with the rest of the teak collection to carry one material through several rooms. Dust the frame with a dry cloth and keep glass cleaner off the wood.
