Executed in warm teak with a softly undulating asymmetrical frame, the mirror balances sculptural form with minimalist restraint. The gently curved silhouette gives the piece a fluid architectural character while maintaining the calm refinement associated with Swedish modern interiors of the period.

The mirror glass is mounted with exposed metal fittings, adding a subtle functionalist detail that contrasts beautifully against the warmth of the teak frame. This interplay between organic wood, clean mirrored glass and understated hardware creates a composition that feels both timeless and distinctly Scandinavian.

The mirror is label-marked by Eriksmåla Glasbruk, one of the notable Swedish glass producers active during the mid-20th century. Located in Småland — the historical heartland of Swedish glassmaking often referred to as “The Kingdom of Crystal” — Eriksmåla Glasbruk became known for its high-quality mirrors and interior glass production characterized by clean Scandinavian lines and understated craftsmanship. The glassworks formed part of the strong Swedish tradition where modernist design, technical precision and natural materials were combined into objects of lasting elegance.

Its sculptural shape allows the mirror to function equally well as a decorative wall object and practical interior piece, making it particularly suited for entryways, bedrooms, dressing rooms or minimalist interiors inspired by Scandinavian and Japanese aesthetics.

A refined and highly versatile example of Swedish mid-century craftsmanship. See less
