Rosewood No. 145 mirror by Kai Kristiansen for Aksel Kjersgaard

This Mid-Century solid rosewood No. 145 mirror by Kai Kristiansen, designed for Aksel Kjersgaard in Odder, Denmark, is a refined example of Scandinavian modern design at its most disciplined and elegant. A defining feature of the No. 145 model is its visible joinery. Small contrasting wooden dowels reinforce the corners, serving both a structural and decorative purpose. This detail reflects Kristiansen’s philosophy: construction should not be hidden, but rather celebrated as part of the object’s aesthetic language. Today, the Kai Kristiansen No. 145 mirror stands as a timeless representation of mid-century Danish design—where proportion, craftsmanship, and the natural beauty of wood converge in a piece of enduring simplicity and quiet luxury.
