When Gillis Lundgren's JARL mirror was launched in our 1978 catalogue, it had a solid pine frame. So does TURBOKASTANJ, but in the Nytillverkad collection it also comes in red with visible grain.
By the sturdy base of the mirror, the deep frame forms a little shelf where you can put small things.

What is mirror glass?
Mirror glass comprises mostly of ordinary glass with a reflective coating in some kind of metal. In the past it was common for the coating to contain lead or mercury – but over time, both of these metals have been shown to be harmful to people and the environment. That’s why, as of several years ago, IKEA has a total ban on using lead or mercury in our mirrors and instead it is non-toxic silver or aluminium that reflects your mirror image.

Designer thoughts
When Gillis Lundgren was hired in 1953, he became the fourth(!) employee ever at IKEA. At first, he illustrated catalogue covers and photographed products while Ingvar Kamprad wrote texts, but soon he also started designing furniture. His JARL mirror was presented in our 1978 catalogue. Then, just as now, with a solid pine frame. In the Nytillverkad collection, it is also available in red with visible grain and is named TURBOKASTANJ.
