In the Casa Josephine-designed Madrid apartment, mirrors amplify light and create the illusion of depth, transforming a narrow flat into a space that feels expansive and palatial. To achieve a similar effect at home, the editors suggest the Glas Italia Como Three-Panel Mirror by Barber Osgerby from twentytwentyone.
