The idea
The oldest mirror shape, kept honest.
Maria Velichkova draws the Oval as a true ellipse and then narrows it by hand until it stands rather than sits: the finished glass is a little taller and a little tighter at the waist than geometry would give it. The halo runs the full perimeter, so at night the ellipse is drawn on the wall in light.

How Oval changes a room.
Primary reflection behavior
Opens a threshold
Its upright ellipse reflects the figure and the window behind it, extending a bedroom wall into a second room.
- Recommended viewing distance
- 1 to 3 m
- Reflected field
- Tall and narrow, the figure to the waist and the room behind
- Natural light
- A window opposite or beside the mirror
- Wall conditions
- A quiet wall with at least 95 cm clear width above a dresser or console
- Visual weight
- Light
- Rooms
- Bedroom, Dressing room, Entryway
Frameless glass on an upright ellipse carries no mass, and the halo is the only line it draws on the wall.
Practical details
Made to arrive with certainty.
- Dimensions

- Materials
- 4 mm clear mirror glass, integrated 3000K LED halo, rear mounting batten
- Finish
- Frameless, with a fine polished edge
- Orientation
- Vertical only
- Origin
- Made and tested in Bulgaria
Installation
Needs a wall of at least 95 by 145 cm.
Fix the rear batten into solid blocking with the centre at standing eye line, and have a qualified electrician connect the driver to a switched supply. Leave 20 cm clear between the lower curve and a dresser top.
Care
Dust with a soft dry cloth and clean the glass as any mirror glass. Keep moisture away from the rear edge, where the LED halo and its driver sit.

Where the wall carries a window rather than facing one, the brass edge of Aster gathers that light instead.
