Embrace a round frame assembled from teak

The frame of this round teak mirror is not turned from a single ring but built up from individual teak wood pieces joined around the circumference. That method is how a curve is achieved in a timber which would otherwise have to be cut across its grain and weakened; it also means the grain direction changes segment by segment, so the ring catches light in bands as you move around it. At 80 cm in diameter it is large enough to serve as the main mirror in a bathroom or above a console.

A circle behaves differently on a wall from a rectangle. It softens rooms dominated by straight lines, whether a tiled bathroom, a square hallway or the horizontal run of a sideboard, and it sits comfortably above a basin without echoing the shape of the cabinet below. In a Japandi bathroom, where the palette is usually stone and pale timber, the warmth of teak keeps the room from feeling clinical.

Built for damp rooms, and hung in minutes

Teak is genuinely resistant to moisture, which is why it has long been used for boat decks and shower benches. The timber contains natural oils and a dense grain that slow the movement of water into the wood, so the frame does not swell, warp or lift the way many hardwoods do in a steamy bathroom. That is the practical reason a wooden mirror can be hung where you might otherwise expect metal or plastic.

Because the frame is a solid, natural material, every mirror is unique: the grains and shades belong to the particular boards it was made from and cannot be repeated. On the back there is a hook for easy wall hanging, so fitting means choosing the right fixing for your wall and levelling the frame. The design is available in more sizes, which makes it possible to pair a larger mirror over a basin with a smaller one elsewhere in the same finish.
