Teak is one of the great furniture woods — dense, naturally oiled and possessed of a grain that grows more beautiful with age. The Teak Round Mirror makes the most of it. The frame is solid teak, finished to let the wood speak for itself: the warm golden-brown tones, the tight straight grain, the subtle variation that tells you this is a natural material rather than a manufactured one. The circular form is clean and unadorned, which is exactly right — anything more would compete with the wood rather than complement it. At 80cm in diameter it is a generous, confident size — large enough to make a real impact in a home bar, hallway, bathroom, bedroom or living room without overwhelming the space. Teak’s natural oils make it inherently water-resistant, which means it performs as well in a bathroom or wet room as it does in a living space — a rare quality in a solid wood mirror of this calibre. A piece that will look better in ten years than it does today.
