Cypris embodies the symbiotic relationship between simplicity and elegance. As an object that is not only beautiful, but emphasises and celebrates beauty, it is worthy of the goddess it is named after. Cypris is one of the names for Aphrodite, symbol of love, beauty and sensuality in Greek mythology. The subtle rounded brass frame surrounds the mirror like a ribbon, ennobling it, giving it grace and elegance. The interplay between the flowing form of the ribbon and the warm, archaic character of the metal gives the object a soft, harmonious appearance. The reflection of the viewer is framed like an artwork. This is emphasised even more by the generous (10 cm) depth of the frame, which looks twice as wide thanks to its reflection in the mirror. The frame also serves the practical purpose of providing a shelf for precious bottles
of perfume. Cypris is available in two variants. There is a square makeup mirror version of 70x70 cm, and a full length rectangular version of 60x180 cm, which can be hung horizontally or vertically.


Dimensions:
WxLxH = 60x180x10 cm
WxLxH = 70x70x10 cm


Material: brass / brass burnished
