Designer thoughts
Designer Gillis Lundgren
When Gillis Lundgren was hired in 1953, he became the fourth(!) employee ever at IKEA. At first, he illustrated catalogue covers and photographed products while Ingvar Kamprad wrote texts, but soon he also started designing furniture. His JARL mirror was presented in our 1978 catalogue. Then, just as now, with a solid pine frame. In the Nytillverkad collection, it is also available in red with visible grain and is named TURBOKASTANJ.
Material
What is mirror glass?
Mirror glass comprises mostly ordinary glass with a reflective coating made of metal. In the past, it was common for the coating to contain lead or mercury, but over time both of these metals have been shown to be harmful to people and the environment. Since 2009, IKEA has had a total ban on using lead or mercury in our mirrors. Instead, silver or aluminium is used to reflect your mirror image.
