Modern Mirrors
MODERN STYLE
The late 19th and early 20th centuries saw sweeping social change and major scientific advances — both of which contributed to a new aesthetic: modernism. Rejecting the rigidity of Victorian artistic conventions, modernists sought a new means of expression. References to the natural world and ornate classical embellishments gave way to the sleek simplicity of the Machine Age. Architect Philip Johnson characterized the hallmarks of modernism as “machine-like simplicity, smoothness or surface [and] avoidance of ornament.”
Early practitioners of modernist design include the De Stijl (“The Style”) group, founded in the Netherlands in 1917, and the Bauhaus School, founded two years later in Germany.
Followers of both groups produced sleek, spare designs — many of which became icons of daily life in the 20th century. The modernists rejected both natural and historical references and relied primarily on industrial materials such as metal, glass, plywood, and, later, plastics. While Bauhaus principals Marcel Breuer and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe created furniture from mass-produced, chrome-plated steel, American visionaries like Charles and Ray Eames worked in materials as novel as molded plywood and fiberglass. Today, Breuer’s Wassily chair, Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona chair — crafted with his romantic partner, designer Lilly Reich — and the Eames lounge chair are emblems of progressive design and vintage originals are prized cornerstones of collections.
It’s difficult to overstate the influence that modernism continues to wield over designers and architects — and equally difficult to overstate how revolutionary it was when it first appeared a century ago. But because modernist furniture designs are so simple, they can blend in seamlessly with just about any type of décor. Don’t overlook them.

"Vaca Colgada" Mirror Designed by Nestor Perkal for Oscar Maschera
Located in Brooklyn, NY
"Vaca Colgada" is a large mirror, designed by Nestor Perkal and manufactured by Oscar Maschera. Leather colors available: tan, sienna, orange, red, red-purple, dark brown, khaki, blue, black.
DIMENSIONS (metal structure): D. 35.4", W. 47.2", H. 5.9"
DIMENSIONS (leather): D. 39.3", W. 51.1"
Each mirror is never the same as the one before, nor as the one that comes after, as well as the leather used to make it. Each hide, as it reaches the workshop, is hung on a frame/shelf and a hole is then made in its centre to see the mirror. Each hide is unique, as well as each mirror.
"Mirrors should reflect a little before throwing back images." Jean Cocteau, Le sang d'un poète (1930)
Nestor Perkal said about "Vaca Colgada":
"This object has always fascinated me. Is it there simply to reflect our image or is it looking at us? It envelopes us, searches for us, constantly questions us. At Oscar Maschera I looked for what leather could bring to this object and how it could become its supporting structure."
NESTOR PERKAL, born in Buenos Aires, lives and works in Paris. Though he trained as an architect, his work has always been oriented to design and interior architecture. In 1985, he founded an international design gallery in Paris, l’Espace Nestor Perkal, where he was among the first in Europe to show and sell pieces from the “New International Design” movement: Memphis Milano, Mariscal and many others.
From 1987-1994, he was the artistic director of the goldsmith’s company Algorithme, where he invited many designers to work on edition projects that were highly successful in France and abroad. As a designer, he has collaborated with Drimmer, Lou Fagotin...

"Appaloosa" 21st Century Monolith White Floor Mirror by Ivan Paradisi
Located in Turin, IT
Appaloosa floor mirror rises from the ground as a unique slender monolith while expressing its particular grace.
The mirror does its part - it is a big full-size mirror which can be used both in a chic show room and a dressing room in a private house. At the same time, being so particular and unique in its design, it serves as an eye-catching decorative part to the interior.
In the lateral A-frame profile, a brass core is wrapped in white maple frisée delivering a forced and elegant contrast of the two materials. Ivan Paradisi often refers to his musical past in woodworking and like in music the counterpoint is the technique of writing or playing a melody in connection with another, this monolith white floor mirror...
