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 The modernists rejected both natural and historical references and relied primarily on industrial materials such as metal, glass, plywood, and, later, plastics.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

Black Walnut Cheval Floor Mirror with Hand Antiqued Glass by Hinterland Design
Located in Vancouver, BC
This custom Cheval style pivoting floor mirror is a freestanding version of our wall-hanging Oxbow mirror.
Our Oxbow mirror combines a perfect arc, mystic mirror effects, and a simple platform for display or function. The oxbow form is derived from the cut-off section of an old meandering river when the water finds an easier pathway through a valley. Leaving a horseshoe or oxbow lake alongside a flowing river. Like a leftover reminder of where the waterway once traveled.
The mirror is made from solid bent American black walnut which is hand oiled and waxed with natural low-voc satin oil and a beeswax polish and features an unique hand etched silver mirror with back painted finish. The mirror pivots slightly forwards and backwards and is secured with antiqued brass pins...

Gengè mirror, in mahogany and canaletto walnut by Vilardo / Marino for Medulum
Located in Meolo, Venezia
“Because a reality wasn’t given to us and is not there; but we have to make it ourselves, if we want to be; and it will never be one for ever, but constant and infinitely changeable.” Luigi Pirandello – One, No One and One Hundred Thousand.
Thanks to a particular interplay of points of view, when looking at Gengè – the furniture accessory designed by Matteo Vilardo and Marcello Marino per MEDULUM – it is only possible to scrutinise its image when looking from the right angle, while those looking from the outside will continue to see only the mask formed by the object. A collection of non-mirrors – at the same time highly unusual, spectacular and yet minimalist – which leads the observer to reflect on the topic of identity within contemporary society, spurring them not to stop their search for the masks which overlap between
ourselves and reality. Thus, the ancient and extremely important...
