Aurea Outdoor Mirror

The Aurea Outdoor Mirror is 90cm wide and 200cm high, with an iron frame in black and a tall arched profile. It is built for courtyards, patios and garden walls. It works indoors equally well.

A mirror outdoors is one of the few genuinely transformative things you can do to a small courtyard. Set facing planting it doubles the greenery and adds a false depth that no amount of additional furniture achieves, and on a shaded wall it returns light that would otherwise be lost.

Iron is the frame material that makes that possible. It carries a powder or paint finish that survives weather where a timber frame would move and open at the joints through a wet season.

Position matters more outdoors than in. A mirror facing direct afternoon sun concentrates heat and light back into the space, which is unpleasant and can scorch nearby planting; facing a wall of green or a shaded aspect it simply extends the garden.
