Soft curves
Wood veneer has been used in fine furniture for centuries. Veneer is thin slices of wood that are glued onto another surface, usually particleboard. Every bit as genuine as solid wood, wood veneer is a natural material with unique variations in grain, color, and texture. Furniture made with wood veneer gives you the same look, feel, smell, and beauty as solid wood and ages gracefully. There are many benefits to using wood veneer in furniture, one is that it helps us to keep the price low and the quality high.
Mirrors used to be coated with lead, a toxic metal. IKEA was one of the first companies in the world to introduce lead-free coating. So you can rest assured knowing that all our mirrors are 100% lead-free. By the way, you look great today.
Form-pressing veneer is a technique where thin layers of wood are glued together and shaped in a bending form. As the glue dries, the wood keeps its soft shape and can be worked into a finished product.
Form-pressed veneer is made by gluing together thin layers of wood and shaping it in a bending form. An old technique that gives IKORNNES mirrors their soft curves.
A mirror with two sides
Behind the mirror, you can hang tomorrow’s outfit and clothes that aren’t ready for the laundry basket quite yet. No clothes piles, no unnecessary loads of laundry – and you can treat yourself to a few extra minutes in bed, too.

”My starting point for IKORNNES mirrors was using form-pressed veneer, because this technique adds a special warmth and softness. Both mirrors have extra functions, too. The floor-standing mirror has a hanger at the back, for your clothes. And if you hang the smaller mirror on the wall, the stand becomes an extra shelf or somewhere to hang small items and trinkets. I’m sure that you’ll like these mirrors, and hope that they’ll make your everyday life just a little bit easier.”
