If you're serious about your reflection, you'll be impressed with this mirror and its 16 facets cut and polished by hand.

Most glass and mirror produced today are filled with mineral impurities, namely iron, which cause a deep green tint. While most noticeable on its edge it's also visible on the entire face of the glass causing the reflection of your skin, your hair, your walls and everything around you to have a slightly greenish muddy tinit. The Diamond Mirror is made from laboratory quality glass of the highest optical clarity and backed with an impossibly thin layer of pure silver. Unobscured by mineral impurities within the glass the Diamond Mirror provides more light transmission which in turn results in a reflection that is actually brighter, clearer and more vivid. Often referred to as optically white, the Diamond Mirror quite literally reflects your true colors.

This mirror is simply striking with its laser-cut decorative edges. It'll set you back a fair bit though, 'cause it's a show stopper.

A final touch to the AQHayon series of bathroom furniture, this laser-cut mirror adds just the right amount of decorative detail to complete the look of perfect elegance and sophistication. Available in stainless steel in three different sizes or in either a black or white silkscreen version, there is a distinct possibility that this mirror may just find its way out of the bathroom and into another room in need of some character.

Goodness gracious, these mirrors are pretty impressive (and maybe the dog's head one is a little scary). While they might be pricey, they'd sure make a statement in whatever room you them in.

designed by tord boontje and emma woffenden for artecnica, the tranSglass mirrors series are part of artecnica's design with conscience series. inspired by guatemalan tribal masks, the mirrors are manufactured to order in guatemala and therefore have an extended delivery time. the mirrors have an MDF backing. shipping charges will apply.

dog's head mosaic: 10.2" x 10.2"; mirror: 16.0" x 30.6" x 7/8", $2,200.00
star mosaic: 19" x 19.7"; mirror: 37.6" x 43.3" x .88", $3,400.00

These mirrors seem to be pretty special- take a look at the incredible texture and materials. Christian Astuguevieille (pronounced ah-stewg-v'YAY) designed them especially for CoutureLab and after googling him and glimpsing just a tiny peek at his abode and various art objects, I can understand the mystique and appeal surrounding the man behind the name. Also, check out his crazy rope chair, called Moisart...not for the timid decorator/designer/collector.

The bunched, synthetic lavender of this mirror is dipped in black acrylic paint creating a dense textured frame to the convex glass. The frame is backed in black wood and signed by the artist...Characteristics between individual pieces may vary as each mirror is handmade.

Mirol Mirror:

The domes and spheres which frame this mirror are constructed from braided cotton, the same material that is used to make synthetic flowers. The back of the mirror is lined with muslin and marked with the Christian Astuguevieille atelier stamp...Characteristics between individual pieces may vary as each mirror is handmade.

Combining the standard mirror with pegs and hooks is not a bad idea, though there's the risk you'd lose the nice design features by covering it up all the time with coats and jackets.

"For dressing room, entryway or bedroom. This inventive standing mirror features wood construction, a tapered silhouette and pegs and hooks for exceptional functionality."

Material(s): Compressed sugi wood

I think this would be perfect for above an entryway console (not to mention completely practical if you happen to live in London).

I like how this mirror has all sorts of random colors due to the choice of material.

"Large round mirror covered with coils of recycled magazine pagers. Rolled into coils, the pieces of paper are attached to the mirror's frame and then sealed for durability and shine. Finished with embedded hook at the back for hanging. Imported. Wipe clean."

Paper, glass. Hardware for hanging not included
