Wood veneer, mirror
Made in Italy by Bensen
Lean is a departure from the traditional picture frame mirror. It is full-length, floating off the floor and resting gracefully against the wall at a 5° angle, reflecting an image head to toe at a close distance. At the same time, the noticeable separation from the wall gives Lean grace and presence.
Lean is simple in form, yet its appeal is in the details. The mirrored surface contrasts with the thick wood panel it is affixed to. The lip at the base of the frame that holds the mirror in place is the same depth as the glass, making for a sleek, seamless unified surface.
Lean mirrors are a combination of core panel construction and veneers. The clear lacquer coat protects the veneer from daily use, while bringing out the natural colors and patterns of select species. The 5 mm thick mirrored glass has polished edges and is carefully bonded to the structural frame. Lean sits on inset rubber feet that protect the frame from the floor. Each mirror includes a wall mount safety bracket, which securely holds the mirror to the wall.
Lean is available as a wide or narrow mirror in a variety of wood veneers.
narrow: 23.5" L | 1.5" d | 84" h
wide: 32.75" L | 1.5" d | 72" h
