AT Europe: Paris - Multi-Mirrors from La Chaise Longue

Here's a fun take on the classic gilded mirror that will reflect multiple points of light and add volume to small spaces.

The light-weight fixture is made from 13 metal faux-gilded framed mirrors fused together into one piece, but you could also use it as inspiration for hanging your own jumble of mirrors.

The Multimiroirs Doré is €149 from La Chaise Longue, with stores around Paris and online ordering possible in Europe.

Ooh I was hoping there would be "Hot or Not" buttons beneath that picture. These are Not.

really? you guys don't like it? i think it'd look GREAT in the right space! unfortunately, i don't have an extra space or wall this would work in. and i'd rather they were in silver frames. picture them in silver frames against a powder blue wall in a room with white gauzy curtains. mmm.

In the U.S., that'd be at Hobby Lobby for $50.

I'm not snarking -- I have a jumble multi-frame from HL because it allowed me to do a collage while only putting two nails into the wall of a rental.

in a different frame and with a difference mixture of sizes it would look far better. It looks a bit tacky.

Oh, come on, that's BEAUTIFUL! ;o) I love it, I'm already working out how many more "thrift shop" mirrors I'd need to make that happen, it's well nice. Possibly the most "me" thing I've seen since finding this site, muchas gracias!

I agree very much with TheoJ that it's not the idea of this that's bad, it's the execution. The sizes and the arrangement of this just doesn't quite work. It's difficult to exactly say how it needs to be, but the spacial compostition of the shapes and sizes just doesn't quite make it.

For starters, I need to see a little more variation in sizes and styles. The repetion of styles and sizes isn't exploited well enough; that repetition is made to look lazy, instead of casual.
