As interior objects, mirrors serve multiple purposes, making
them as complex and multifaceted decorative features as
lighting. As well as the functional role of offering reflection,
they can also play a hugely influential part in defining a space
– by directing light, creating an impression of size, reflecting
other spaces, bringing the outdoors in, and adding texture
and interest to the room. Furthermore, a beautifully crafted
mirror can make a design statement in its own right. In the
Vanity Mirror Collection, GamFratesi has created a family
of mirrors that fulfil each of these roles – reflective surface,
interior enhancer, and distinct aesthetic object.
This new collection of wall-mounted mirrors takes a near-
forgotten mirror typology – the classic vanity mirror of the
boudoir dressing table – and ingeniously reinvents it for
contemporary interiors. Vanity embodies GamFratesi’s
unerring ability to bring the highest levels of craftsmanship
and technical precision to even the most apparently simple
of forms. With three variants – comprising one, two, or three
mirror panels – the Vanity Mirror Collection offers a high
degree of versatility, and represents a perfect balance of
function and decorative beauty.
The collection takes its inspiration – and its name – from
the vanity-table mirrors of the 18th century, which typically
featured three adjustable mirror panels connected by hinges,
allowing the viewer to admire themselves from multiple
perspectives. In its Vanity design, GamFratesi reinterprets
one of the key functional elements of this – the hinge – in
a contemporary context, thereby creating a modern design
that preserves an aesthetic link to the past.
Hinges are a principal feature of all three variants of the
Vanity Mirror. As well as incorporating the fixtures for wall
mounting and support, the hinges allow the panels to be
angled by the user, changing the look and light in the room
as they like.
