Mirror with teak wood frame, Italian manufacture, 1960s.
An elegant teak wood frame outlines a strictly rectangular mirror. This piece reflects the essential style of the 1960s, a time when Danish postmodernism transitioned from the avant-garde to become widely popular, spreading across Europe. Italy, with its rich tradition of cabinetmaking and woodworking, was no exception. Combining this heritage with a keen openness to innovation, the country embraced new trends with remarkable receptiveness. At this pivotal moment in history, alongside the major works of leading designers and architects—who contributed to the style later celebrated as "Made in Italy"—there emerged a plethora of furniture and accessories imbued with exquisite Nordic influences. These were the result of the enterprising spirit and skill of both large and small local manufacturers.
This mirror exemplifies that trend, showcasing a Nordic-inspired design paired with exceptional Italian craftsmanship. The result is a superior-quality decorative piece of refined inspiration, capable of captivating observers in any setting. Part of its charm lies in the irresistible temptation to admire one’s reflection, and part in the sophisticated balance and fine taste evident in the warm teak wood frame.
