IKORNNES Standing mirror, ash, 52x167 cm

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.

Behind the mirror, you can hang tomorrow’s outfit and clothes that aren’t ready for the laundry basket quite yet. No clothes piles, no unnecessary loads of laundry – and you can treat yourself to a few extra minutes in bed, too.

”My starting point for IKORNNES mirrors was using form-pressed veneer, because this technique adds a special warmth and softness. Both mirrors have extra functions, too. The floor-standing mirror has a hanger at the back, for your clothes. And if you hang the smaller mirror on the wall, the stand becomes an extra shelf or somewhere to hang small items and trinkets. I’m sure that you’ll like these mirrors, and hope that they’ll make your everyday life just a little bit easier.”
