Timothy is a freestanding mirror that stands out for its sober design and warm lines, thanks to the skilful use of solid wood.
Both the thin frame that embraces the natural mirror surface and the supporting base, are made of solid Canaletta walnut. Details in brushed bronzed brass subtly run along the base and the frame. This tiltable freestanding mirror can be moved in different positions, thanks to the sturdy, solid base. The Timothy mirror is classified as the ideal element for any modern bedroom, but it is also suitable for more contemporary atmospheres or classic taste and can fit with measured elegance in both contract and domestic projects.
