LOOKING AT THE WAY IN WHICH A PICTURE OR

A PAINTING IS FRAMED, THE COPENHAGEN-

BASED DESIGN STUDIO KRØYER-SÆTTER-LASSEN

INVESTIGATED HOW AN ENTIRE FRAME COULD

SURROUND A MIRROR WITHOUT DETRACTING FROM

THE BEAUTY AND REFLECTION OF THE GLASS.

The result is Nimbus, a refreshingly simple mirror in

bronzed or polished brass and light-reflecting glass, which

defines a space with its soothing and sophisticated shape.

Mirrors are not purely functional: since ancient times,

they have reflected the style of a period – framed by ornate

Baroque flourishes or Gothic arches or the simple lines of

the Bauhaus movement. Nimbus brings the fundamentals

of the mirror into the modern age, yet with a mythological

twist, referenced in its name: in Greek mythology Nimbus

was a shining cloud or corona that often surrounded a

deity on Earth.
