Design House Stockholm Lasso Mirror This stylish mirror was designed by Axel Bjurström for Design House Stockholm. He chose to retain only the essential elements a wall mirror needs, resulting in a unified and functional frameless design. The decorative rope that surrounds the mirror is made of nylon, giving it that extra touch. "What more do you need than a rope, a knob, and a reflective surface to hang a mirror on the wall?" Axel wondered. "Simply twist the lasso slightly around the center of the glass, thread it through the inserts on the back, and secure it to the wall with the knob, and you have a tangible contrast between the softness of textile and the perfect metallic sheen of glass." Axel notes that mirrors are often hung as an afterthought, with only a wire attached to the back. In the Lasso mirror, that attachment is the guiding design concept. The rope appears to be thrown like a lasso, then pulled taut and—despite its softness—pressed into the glass. Three spacers on the back keep the mirror flush against the wall, and an ingenious attachment ensures it stays attached to the knob. "It's all about the materials: wood grain, soft textile, and hard glass. I wanted to reveal all the contradictions and bring them into a simple, perfect relationship with an organic expression." The thick woven textile cord that holds the glass can also be used to prop up a note, card, or something similar. Choose a round or rectangular lasso mirror; the hanging knob is made of solid oak. Dimensions: L x W x H 95 x 35 x 24 cm.
