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 The modernists rejected both natural and historical references and relied primarily on industrial materials such as metal, glass, plywood, and, later, plastics.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.

"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...

I Need a Boy-Toy, Vanity Mirror, Mixed Media Objet D'art
By John Seubert

JSE074
In the early Nineties, John Seubert was living in a former hotel in a high-rise building on St. James Place in Chicago. The apartment was tiny, as hotel rooms tend to be, and clad with paper-thin walls allowing sound to pass from one apartment to the other. At the time, John’s artwork consisted of pounding copper sheets into tables which was a noisy endeavor to say the least. Following several noise complaints from the neighbors, John had a dream that he was living in a ramshackle house but with plenty of room to work and no attached neighbors. The following day after lunching at the McDonalds in Lincoln Park, John wandered the neighborhood a came upon a shabby, falling-down old Victorian house. He located the real estate agent, put in an offer, and weeks later was pushing a shopping cart full of his belongings to his new home.
This 144-year-old Painted Lady provided a blank canvas for this inimitable artist. For many years the house remained so empty that John was able to ride his Japanese fold up bike throughout the 1st floor. “Some people want to have sex...

Contemporary Red Body Mirror, Off Round Hue #2, Wall Mirror by Sabine Marcelis
Located in Copenhagen, DK
In 2013 Sabine Marcelis and Brit van Nerven started collaborating on the project ‘Seeing Glass’ - a series of glass objects resulting from an ongoing study into optical effects created with glass as the primary material. Glass specialists allowed the designers to play around and experiment in their factory to investigate new possibilities and through the use of materials, colour and layering, unexpected effects are created which play with ones visual perception as well as the surrounding space.
The Seeing Glass project involved different collections - one of them being the Off Round mirrors. The Off Round mirrors are continually evolving and expanding, and has developed into the Off Round Hue Collection - a collection of colourful, organic shaped mirrors exclusively available through Etage Projects...
