Adnet Wall Mirror
Made by GUBI
Jacques Adnet spent decades defining a distinctly French approach to modern interiors, one rooted in the traditions of saddlery and fine leatherwork rather than industrial manufacture. His mirrors, first produced in the 1950s, carry that sensibility with quiet authority. The stitched leather straps, the burnished brass fittings, the precise geometry of the frame - each detail is a decision, not a decoration.
GUBI's faithful reissue preserves the original proportions and materiality, offering the circular and rectangular forms in multiple sizes and leather finishes. The result is an object that reads differently across contexts: architectural in a hallway, intimate in a dressing room, sculptural above a console.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who was Jacques Adnet and why does his work matter?
Jacques Adnet (1900-1984) was a French designer and director of the Compagnie des Arts Français, celebrated for his mastery of leather and brass in furniture and accessories. His work bridges Art Deco craftsmanship and mid-century modernism, and his pieces are collected internationally for their precise materiality and enduring form.
What leather options are available for the Adnet Wall Mirror?
The Adnet Wall Mirror is offered in several leather finishes, including black and cognac, each hand-stitched in keeping with Adnet's original saddlery-inspired technique. The specific options vary by frame size and shape, so it is worth consulting with a specialist for the full current palette.
Is the Adnet Mirror appropriate for a bathroom?
The mirror glass itself is standard, but the leather frame requires consideration in high-humidity environments. For bathrooms, it is best suited to powder rooms or spaces with adequate ventilation rather than wet rooms with direct moisture exposure.
How is the Adnet Wall Mirror hung and what hardware is included?
The mirror is designed to hang via its characteristic leather straps and brass fittings, which are integral to the design. Mounting hardware is typically included, and installation should account for the weight of the piece, particularly in larger sizes.
What is the difference between the circular and rectangular Adnet mirrors?
The circular form is the more iconic of the two, closely associated with Adnet's original designs and often used as a singular focal object. The rectangular version offers a more architectural presence and tends to suit dressing rooms, entryways, and spaces where vertical proportion is a consideration.
