Objects Of Design #157: Magnifying Mirror

Be brave it’s very magnifying

There is truth in the saying that you get what you pay for. I bought a much cheaper version of one of these and by the time No 2 Son had finished flipping it round from side to side and extending and whatever the opposite of extending it is, it fell off the wall. It has been reattached but it is now rather wobbly and there seems to be no way of tightening the screws. So, I give you this. It costs more than mine and will be correspondingly sturdier.

It also magnifies seven times, which is, frankly, terrifying, but, if you’ve been in the bath with yesterday’s chrome bath rack and a glass of wine or two, you might be feeling strong enough to confront yourself in glorious, magnified technicolour.
