The oak frame is worked in relief with regular gouge strokes that create a mineral-like surface, typical of the Brutalist aesthetic. The honey-tobacco hue and patina highlight the grain and create beautiful variations in light.
Its rectangular shape and balanced proportions give it a strong presence without being overly decorative—perfect for warming up a white wall, an entryway, or above a sideboard. A decorative and tactile mirror, both rustic and sophisticated, that embodies the French Brutalist spirit of the Sixties: expressive materials, deliberate handcraftsmanship, and architectural simplicity.
