Inspired by the Sacred Ceiba trees in Havana, Joao Faria created the stunning Roots Mirror for contemporary homes. It is handcrafted using carefully selected metals and materials. Many consider this piece a work of art, like a sculpture.
The Roots Collection includes coffee tables, console tables, desks, and screens. Each piece is handmade to order, allowing us to manufacture it in endless combinations.
This piece is entirely made in Portugal and artisanally by the author. Its manufacturing process is time-consuming because, among other complex operations, every mirror insert is drawn, cut, and fitted onto the metal structure without machinery.
The metal structure is made from very thick and resistant steel, stainless steel, copper, or brass, depending on the final version of the mirror. The final finish on the brass is a varnish to protect the metal from stains.
This listing is for a mirror made with a thick brass structure, brushed by hand, and a clear glass mirror.
However, we can manufacture it in customised options:
Metal: Stainless steel, brass, or copper (these metals can have a polished, brushed, or "Industrial Chic" finish). You can choose between stainless steel, copper, brass, or lacquered steel. Stainless steel, copper, and brass can be finished in three styles: polished, brushed, or "Industrial Chic" finish. The "Industrial Chic" finish is handmade by the author, making every piece truly unique. The lacquered steel can be any RAL colour.
Mirror: Clear, grey, black, or bronze.
Back: It can be in different lacquer colours or wood veneers, such as ironwood, black oak, tineo, and ebony macassar. The wood finish can be matt, satin or high-gloss.
Custom dimensions are only available after analysis.
The polished metal finish takes longer to manufacture than the brushed or "Industrial Chic" styles because the polishing operation is time-consuming and requires several steps for surface preparation.
For added security, the mirror should be securely nailed to the wall. We send all the hardware to ensure its safe attachment.
If you're interested in a custom-made option, please get in touch with us.
This piece is assembled, and it will be delivered in a wooden box packed in bubble wrap.
You can try it in your space using Augmented Reality with your mobile phone (Roots Collection, available on our website).
