Cypris embodies the symbiotic relationship between simplicity and elegance. As an object it emphasises and celebrates beauty being worthy of the goddess it is named after. Cypris is one of the names for Aphrodite, symbol of love, beauty and sensuality in Greek mythology. The subtle rounded brass frame surrounds the mirror like a ribbon, ennobling it, giving it grace and elegance. The reflection of the viewer is framed like an artwork through the generous depth of the frame. In both possible finishes, natural and burnished, the object reminds of the soft elegance characteristic of the 1950s.
