Description
One of the first designers to pair leather with glass, Jacques Adnet’s large Adnet Circular Wall Mirror for Gubi is a design classic. Today, the circular wall mirror serves as inspiration for designers across the globe. It features a round mirror, surrounded by a luxurious leather strap. Equestrian-inspired burnished brass detailing lends another level of intrigue to the design.
Our Stylist Says
The Gubi Adnet Wall Mirror with tan leather adds a touch of timeless sophistication, making it a versatile piece for various interiors. I love how the leather trim introduces warmth and texture, elevating a simple mirror into a statement accessory. It's particularly well-suited for modern, minimalist, or Scandinavian spaces, but can also bring a chic edge to more traditional or eclectic interiors. For styling, consider hanging it above a console or in an entryway to create an inviting focal point, or group several in different sizes for a gallery wall. Practical tips include ensuring the leather is kept clean with a gentle cleaner, and positioning it at eye level for both function and aesthetic impact.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
