Every piece is shaped over a lightweight sculptural core and finished by hand with multiple layers of mineral plaster, giving a dense, matte, stone-like surface. Mineral pigments, limewash tones and protective finishes are applied by hand according to the selected surface treatment. Tones sit in the ivory, bone and warm sand family and soften beautifully in natural light.
Dust with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid prolonged direct water contact unless your piece was sealed for sheltered outdoor use — if in doubt, write to us; a real person from the atelier answers.
Custom sizes, colours and finishes are available, including RAL, NCS and Pantone tone matching. Tell us the dimensions and tone you need and we will reply with options and a quote. We can also prepare a written spec sheet from your piece’s final measurements for project use.
Every piece is handcrafted to order in our atelier. Production typically takes 5–10 business days unless this page states otherwise; custom sizes and more complex forms may require additional time.
Your piece leaves the atelier as soon as it is finished. Delivery timing and full terms are set out in the section below.
Insured door-to-door delivery is included in the displayed price unless a product page or checkout explicitly states otherwise. Once dispatched, transit typically takes approximately 3–10 business days depending on destination and service; carrier or customs delays can occur. For orders delivered within the United States, applicable customs duties and import charges are covered by Mono Aurel. For deliveries to all other countries, customs duties, import taxes and related destination charges are the buyer's responsibility. Any applicable sales taxes will be displayed at checkout where required. Every shipment is tracked and insured.
Each piece is cushioned and double-boxed like artwork, and you receive tracking as soon as it leaves the atelier.
We share production photos and videos at important stages, and send a detailed final video before dispatch. Your piece is shipped only after you have reviewed and approved it. If you are not satisfied before shipment, we will remake the piece or refund you. Because pieces are made to order, standard change-of-mind returns are not accepted once a piece has been approved and dispatched. Every product is covered by a one-year warranty: in the case of a verified manufacturing defect, product fault or qualifying transit damage, we will provide a refund or a replacement, and in most cases you will not be asked to return the original piece. The warranty does not cover misuse, improper installation, accidental damage or ordinary wear.

About this piece
A sculptural mirror inspired by fractured stone formations and naturally eroded surfaces.
The Rift Mirror combines an expansive reflective surface with an irregular, hand-shaped surround, creating an object that sits between functional design and architectural sculpture.
Its raw mineral texture and asymmetrical silhouette give the piece the presence of a naturally formed monolith while maintaining the refinement required for contemporary interiors.
Each Rift Mirror is individually shaped and finished by hand. Subtle variations in texture, contour and surface character are therefore part of the piece rather than imperfections.
Designed as a focal point for organic modern, wabi-sabi, brutalist and contemporary interiors.
The Rift Mirror reads as a single mineral mass that has been opened, rather than as a mirror set into a frame. The surround gathers its weight at the base and narrows as it rises, so the silhouette leans and shifts depending on where it is seen from. Against the eroded texture of the surround, the mirror plane stays clean and precise, and the contrast between the two is the whole proposition of the piece.
Every Rift Mirror is shaped and finished individually by hand. The surround carries a matte mineral, stone-look texture with the depth and irregularity of weathered rock, while the full-length mirror set within it provides an expansive, unbroken reflective surface. No two pieces are identical.
Dimensions are the approximate overall exterior dimensions, including the sculptural frame. Approximate depth: 16–22 cm, depending on the selected size and the individually hand-shaped sculptural contour. The Rift Mirror is conceived as a substantial, architectural object rather than a thin decorative mirror frame.
Due to the individually hand-shaped nature of the Rift Mirror, slight variations in contour, texture and overall dimensions may occur.
Each finish is applied by hand. Subtle variations in tone, texture and movement are part of the character of the piece. All six standard finishes are available in every size, with no difference in price.
As a full-length floor mirror with the presence of a sculpture, the Rift Mirror asks for space around it: an entryway, the end of a corridor, a dressing area, or a living room wall where its full height can be read. In organic modern and wabi sabi interiors it works as an earthen counterpoint to pale plaster and soft textiles; in minimal and brutalist spaces it holds the room as an architectural element.
Custom dimensions and finishes are available. Contact us for bespoke requests.
Interior designers, architects and hospitality projects are welcome to discuss sizing and finish development before ordering — see our custom commissions page, or apply to the Mono Aurel Trade Program.
Is the Rift Mirror handmade?
Yes. Every piece is individually shaped and finished by hand, so no two are identical.
Are variations between pieces normal?
Yes. Subtle differences in contour, texture, surface character and overall dimensions are part of the handmade process rather than faults.
Does the finish change the price?
No. All six standard finishes are offered at the same price; the price is determined by the size you select.
Can I order a custom size or finish?
Yes. Custom dimensions and finishes are available on request — contact us with the dimensions and the finish you have in mind.
Is the Rift Mirror made to order?
Yes. Each piece is made to order and ships worldwide. Production and delivery terms are set out in the sections above.
Notes from the Atelier
Each piece is shaped over a lightweight sculptural core and finished by hand with multiple mineral plaster layers to create its distinctive stone-like surface — applied, dried and carved back until it reads like weathered stone. Mineral pigments, limewash tones and protective finishes are applied by hand according to the selected surface treatment.
Run a hand across the surface and you will find gentle tool marks, grain and subtle shifts in tone. This variation is not a defect — it is the record of the making, and the reason no two pieces are ever identical.
Concept, carving, reinforcement, plaster, hand sanding, pigmentation, inspection — every piece passes through the same slow sequence of hands before it is packed, one piece at a time. See Our Materials and Process.
Sculptural objects work best where they can breathe — a quiet corner, an entryway, the end of a hallway, a console styled sparsely.The lightweight sculptural core keeps large architectural forms manageable to position and to move. Give the piece space and side light; plaster texture comes alive in raking light. Exact dimensions are listed above, and a written spec sheet is available on request.
Dust with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid soaking, harsh cleaners and abrasives. Treated kindly, mineral plaster ages the way good architecture does — slowly, and with character. Read the Care Guidance.
Sizes, tones and finishes can be adapted on selected pieces, with colour matched to RAL, NCS or Pantone references. Send a photo of your space and approximate dimensions and we will prepare three complimentary initial design directions. Start a Custom Commission.
