KN Slide table mirror, ash - grey concrete

Fritz Hansen's Slide table mirror consists of a round mirror with a wooden base, both standing on a concrete container that offers ample storage space for hairpins, jewellery or make-up pads. The name Slide refers to the mirror’s construction: the wooden part can be moved along the concrete to hide or display whatever is stored inside it.

The Slide mirror is designed by Karin Nakamura. The design was conceived as a result of a collaboration between Fritz Hansen and Central St. Martins College of Art in London, when Christian Andresen, Fritz Hansen’s Head of Design, acted as Nakamura’s mentor. As a nod to Fritz Hansen’s design philosophy and materiality, Slide’s streamlined form is designed to emphasize the beauty and texture of each material: smoked glass, ash wood and hand-cast concrete.

Fritz Hansen is an internationally well-known design brand which was founded in Denmark already in 1872. Its design philosophy is based on the same principles as 150 years ago: Fritz Hansen believes that a single piece of furniture or lighting can change the ambience of a whole room and enhance the happiness and well-being of people inhabiting the space. Fritz Hansen’s collections range from Danish design classics by Arne Jacobsen and Poul Kjærholm to contemporary pieces by designers such as Jaime Hayon and Cecilie Manz. The Danish lighting company Lightyears has been part of Fritz Hansen since 2015.
