Transformed Space: Revamping My Skinny Corridor
In the heart of Per's home, a charming blend of history and modernity unfolds, as the Arles mirror makes a captivating statement in his entranceway. The Arles mirror, a decorative bronze or silver mirror dating from the early medieval period, adds an antique sensibility to the Scandinavian aesthetic, reflecting the values of simplicity, natural materials, and subtle historic references that characterise this design philosophy.
Originating in early medieval Europe, these mirrors, often richly decorated, were likely used by elites and were produced or traded in significant cultural centres such as Arles. Although there is no documented story or origin of an Arles mirror specifically within Scandinavian interior design, its historical craftsmanship and cross-cultural influences between Mediterranean and northern European artistic traditions have left an indelible mark on contemporary Scandinavian design.
The Arles mirror setup in Per's home is not merely a standalone item. It is complemented by a coat rack, creating a functional and aesthetically pleasing space. The setup also features a rubber plant named 'Farfar', a poignant reminder of Per's grandad who passed away over thirty years ago. Everyone in Per's family has a cutting from 'Farfar' as a way to remember their deceased family member.
The PK1 chair, a classic Scandinavian design, provides a cosy seating area for a 'Fika' – a traditional Swedish coffee break – adding to the warm and inviting atmosphere of Per's home. The space is further enhanced by a framed 'Twined 02' print, created by the Copenhagen-based design studio Moe Made It.
As you step into Per's home, you are greeted by a beautiful Scandinavian-inspired entrance that seamlessly blends history and modernity. The Arles mirror, with its intricate design and cross-cultural influences, serves as a testament to the enduring allure of early medieval European artistry in contemporary Scandinavian interior design.
