Natural Edge Reclaimed Wood Mirror @ VivaTerra.
Continuing the theme of recycling woods, the rustic, bark-like frame of this mirror is made using densely grained wood reclaimed from demolished Thai buildings.

Here’s a beautiful way of extending the life of old, discarded or broken mirrors, since the chemical coating applied to them during manufacturing makes them impossible to recycle [though apparently metal mirrors can be recycled with scrap metal in some areas].
The Brazilian Campana Brothers explain that “the brilliant colours pay tribute to their native country and the stony land upon which the city of Brasilia, the capital of Brazil was erected.” Each piece of glass was applied by hand and definitely worth the effort. Simply stunning.](http://28.media.tumblr.com/JEVcJTTe64ga5fvmSNIG1dEk_500.jpg)

Of course, these are stunning in their elaborate design alone, but extra props goes to Loebach for his eco.efficient use of wood. He produced two mirror frames in a single cut [one is the inside of the other] and then went on to utilize the centre rectangular piece of leftover wood to mount one of the mirrors. His goal was to “use a single cutting operation to produce multiple objects with zero waste.” A gorgeous, sustainable product was born, earning Loebach an Inhabitat Award at HauteGREEN 2007.](http://26.media.tumblr.com/JEVcJTTe649ep7mmkEnDwwNa_500.jpg)
