Como

Design

Como is a mirror that leans into structure. The frame has a clear, confident outline, and the rounded corners soften it just enough. In the single-panel version it reads clean and architectural. In the three-panel version, the look becomes more dynamic, with the seams set right into the frame so the lines stay sharp.

The mirror itself can be specified with a beveled perimeter that follows the shape of the frame, or without bevel for a flatter, more graphic edge. It’s a small decision, but it changes the mood. Either way, the silhouette stays controlled and quiet.

Materials & build

The frame is made in shiny-polished untreated solid brass, chosen so the material is seen, not disguised. There are also lacquered brass options in Dark Brown or Bamboo green (NCS S 3020-G20Y), both offering a more muted, tailored presence while keeping the same weight of metal at the edge.

On the three-panel version, the panels are joined with pin-hinges integrated into the frames, finished with the kind of precision that makes the movement feel natural. When closed, the reflective surfaces are hidden and the rear side comes forward, executed in matt lacquered glass. It’s an intentional reversal, not an afterthought.

Use & everyday comfort

The central panel is fixed to the wall. And the side panels rotate, opening partially or completely depending on the moment. It allows quick checks from different angles, but it also lets the mirror change the room’s rhythm without a big gesture.

With the panels closed, Como becomes more restrained and almost object-like, showing the refined back rather than the mirror face. It’s a simple idea, but it keeps the piece from feeling purely utilitarian.

Placement & lifestyle

Sizes span from a generous 58″ W × 63″ H down to a more compact 19″ W × 28″ H. The larger formats suit entryways, bedrooms, and dressing areas where scale matters. The smaller sizes land easily in tighter spaces, or where a mirror is meant to sit alongside art and lighting instead of dominating the wall.

In a hallway, the three-panel option adds flexibility without visual noise. In a bedroom, it plays well with low, clean furniture and warmer finishes, especially in the lacquered brass tones.

Longevity

Como is designed by Edward Barber & Jay Osgerby for glasitalia, and it has the kind of build that holds up visually over time. The brass frame choices will each age differently in a home, but the form stays consistent.

It is not available custom made, which keeps the proportions and details exactly as intended. The result is a mirror that feels considered, repeatable, and easy to specify with confidence.
