Sylvie Favorite

Ooh la la! Found in Montpellier, this rope mirror was made in mid-20th-century France by Adrien Audoux and Frida Minet, a husband-and-wife design duo who ran a small workshop on the French Riviera in the seaside town of Golfe-Juan. The frame is twisted hemp rope wrapped around a round wood core, finished by hand and aged to a warm honey color. Audoux-Minet were part of the same modernist circle as Charlotte Perriand and Jean Prouvé, and they made their name in the 1940s and 50s by rejecting the heavy gilded Art Deco of the previous generation in favor of humble materials made beautifully. Sylvie hangs it above a sink in a small bathroom, in an entryway above a console where it catches the light, or in a bedroom over a dresser where you check yourself on the way out.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.
