  • About

    While contemporary interiors often exude a cool reserve and aggressive geometry, the Mirror Interior approach is more humanistic, lyrical and comfort-oriented. We aim to create customised spaces that manage to be intimate and understated at once.

    In creating interior spaces, we work with multifaceted style codes and references, an eclectic mix, both historical and contemporary. As with a great cuvée or fine perfume, we blend a variety of different elements to form a far more complex – and ultimately more pleasing – harmony.

    The concept and style of our design evolves naturally out of the client’s requirements and preferences, as well as being inspired by the mood, history and sense of location. The underlying basis for realising this aesthetic vision is a comprehensive process of thoughtful, functional and technical planning.

    Guiding our work is the belief that pleasant rooms are the result of a care­fully thought-out interaction between all aspects of design, such as the spatial proportions, stylistic elements employed, furniture, colours, materials and textures, as well as lighting and indoor climate solutions. In the end, a designed space should fit the client perfectly, as one might expect of an haute couture dress or bespoke suit.

    The name of the company Mirror Interior is a wordplay on SabineKreuzspiegl’s name (“Spiegel” being the German term for mirror). It also alludes to the partners’ belief that well-conceived surroundings will reflect the personalities of the people living and working within them.
