KRABB Mirror, 44x40 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.

"When I was a child we had little square mirrors in our bathroom. I had these in mind when I designed KRABB mirrors. I wanted to create something that was just as simple, yet more decorative. With organic shapes, because I've always liked them. These mirrors are like a puzzle that you can change whenever you like. They make the room look bigger and better. I would also like to create a magic mirror that makes people feel good about themselves, but that will have to be my next challenge."
