Coniston mirror is named after Coniston Water in England's Lake District, the timber frame recalling the land that encircles the reflective lake. Coniston features joinery invented by Matthew Hilton, which can only be achieved with CNC machinery. The joinery adds a beautiful decorative detail, while increasing the long grain to long grain bonds for greater stability. The mirror can be hung in two orientations - there is no top or bottom, allowing the user to choose their preferred orientation according to the unique wood grain on every piece.

Matthew Hilton graduated with a degree in Furniture Design from Kingston Polytechnic in 1979. He went on to design products for a variety of well known manufacturers. In 1985 Matthew set up the Matthew Hilton Design Studio. He has also been given the highest honor in the field of Industrial Design in the United Kingdom, by being named a Royal Designer for Industry in 2003. In September 2007, Matthew established his own brand, Matthew Hilton Limited as a place he could have complete creative control. In 2008, he was named Designer of the Year by Elle Decoration at the British Design Awards.
