Mirror in the style of Hervé Van Der Sraeten

Floor-standing mirror in the style of HERVÉ VAN DER STRAETEN (Bretigny-sur-Orge, 1965).
With a wrought-iron frame.
Measurements: 176 x 52 x 35 cm.

A captivating floor-standing mirror with a wrought-iron frame, carefully shaped to mimic twisting, intertwined branches that support a circular mirror—a design that appears to draw inspiration from Hervé Van der Straeten’s celebrated mirror works featuring iron and bronze stands. Sculptural quality, elegance, and craftsmanship come together in this piece, which is also characterized by its durability.

Hervé Van der Straeten is a French designer of furniture, lighting, and mirrors. He studied painting at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and began designing jewelry in 1985, even before completing his studies. He soon began working with Jean-Paul Gaultier, Isabel Marant, Christian Lacroix, and Thierry Mugler. He later expanded his work to include furniture, lighting, and mirrors in limited or one-of-a-kind editions, in keeping with his desire to “create irregular, dynamic pieces.” In addition to his own collections, he has designed the J’adore bottle for Dior, the Kiss Kiss lipsticks for Guerlain, and the Excess series for Cristallerie de Saint-Louis. He has also designed furniture for Roger Vivier boutiques, such as the Capsule aluminum pouf and the Passage console table. His clients include Tom Ford, Marie-Chantal Miller, Steven Spielberg, Madonna¹, and the Élysée Palace through the Mobilier national. At the same time, numerous renowned interior designers have entrusted him with their projects. In 2007, Hervé Van der Straeten received the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (Living Heritage Company) designation from the French Ministry of Culture.
