TRACE circular illuminated mirror above a pale stone basin in a bright mineral room.TRACE with its irregular rounded contour and warm inset LED line above a stone basin, with recessed shelves at left and a fluted door at right in soft evening light.

The idea

A machined circle, and one line drawn by hand.

Maria Velichkova draws the TRACE line freehand at full scale, in one sitting, until it holds its own beside the machined outer circle. The drawing is engraved into the glass and the LED laid along it, so the light inherits the small deviations of the hand rather than correcting them.

How TRACE changes a room.

Primary reflection behavior

Carries light

Its integrated 3000K line supplies warm light of its own, so the mirror carries light even into rooms daylight never reaches.

Recommended viewing distance
1.5 to 3.5 m
Reflected field
Central and warm, edged by its own line of light
Natural light
Angled or indirect light, with its own line supplying the rest
Wall conditions
A quiet wall with at least 100 cm clear width
Visual weight
Light
Rooms
Dining room, Entryway, Living room

The frameless bronze disc reads as a plane of warm reflection, and the drawn line adds presence without mass.

Practical details

Made to arrive with certainty.

90 cm diameter, made to order from 70 to 120 cm
Materials
6 mm bronze mirror glass, engraved 3000K LED line, concealed split batten

Installation

Fix the concealed split batten into solid blocking and have a qualified electrician connect the integrated line to a switched supply. Centre the disc on the standing eye line.

Care

Dust with a soft dry cloth and clean the bronze glass as any mirror glass. Keep moisture away from the rear edge, where the LED line and its driver sit.
