Irregular Mirrors

10 June 2023

Mirrors have been a steady source of illusion and function within our spaces for a long time, so its not surprising that they've seen their fair share of design developments. Most recently, the trend in irregular shaped mirrors has taken the interiors world by storm, allowing you to break up your spaces with new lines and silhouettes, capturing a design aesthetic that mimics wall art but allows excellent functionality.

The Double Mirror by Bontempi Casa features a striking combination of bronze and silver tones and produces a unique overlapping design to create a focal point on the wall. Similarly, the Risiko Mirror by Cattelan Italia features three striking angular shapes layered upon one another to create a bold dimensional design. There is also an option to add an LED light behind the design to cast light around the mirror onto the wall.

For something slightly more traditional but with an irregular twist, look no further than the Giolino Mirror by Porada. The Giolino has an elegant organic form with a wood frame that can come in a range of finishes from natural to gold leaf. The Ops Mirror by Porada also employs a smooth wood frame as a border to its irregular hexagonal shape glass, but comes in full length complete with a small shelf built into the frame — perfect for keys and wallets.

Returning to the layering motif, this time using softer shapes, the Ulisse Mirror by Cattelan Italia offers three irregular oval shapes which overlap one another. The overlapping mirrors at the back can be contrasted in smoke or bronze finishes. The Akumal Mirror by Cattelan Italia features an almost pebble-like outline, with a front smoked mirror glass layer framed by a smoked transparent glass layer behind, allowing for a true free form dimensional mirror design.

With a whole host of new shapes and designs to choose from, and with more innovations happening every day, you’re sure to find the 'perfectly imperfect' mirror to contrast or complement your space.
