AP Back-Illuminated Mirror Walls


AP Back-Illuminated Mirror Walls are fully bespoke and help designers achieve dynamic, original and spectacular focus points, or simply make more minimalist and artistic statements, depending on the theme of the interior or whether used in hospitality, including hotels, restaurants and clubs, retail and commercial spaces, or in residential projects.


Feature walls are a must when designing distinctive and inspiring interiors. Modern techniques and technologies are always offering new ways to combine colours, materials, finishes and lighting to achieve striking results. AP Back-Illuminated Mirror Walls combine a cutting edge back-lighting technology with innovative etching techniques to create superb feature walls.



Commonly used in modern interior design to expand visual space and reflect light, colours, objects and sceneries, mirrors are always great focal points in any room. Adding very finely etched patterns and designs on their surface creates beautiful and unique mirrors that really come to life when back-illuminated.





The etched pattern may reflect a design or architectural feature in the project, highlight a brand or corporate identity, designate areas for public or staff, or simply form a unique and artistic decorative mirror panel.
We offer a measurement and installation service, including basic joinery to house the mirrors if required.

Tea Trees & Cake Stands - Mandarin Oriental, London, UK

Alguacil & Perkoff supplied these exquisite and custom made Tea Trees & Cake Stands for traditional afternoon tea at The Rosebery, the Mandarin Oriental’s new tea room, Hyde Park, Knightsbridge. 



Located in one of London’s most fashionable destinations, they were conceived for the 5 star hotel by GA Design International and created in partnership with the Design Foundry. They required a creation that was elegant, modern, and provided a unique experience. 



Using a sketch from GA Design as their starting point, the development work carried out by our specialist partner included form, texture, finish and functionality. The Tea Trees were indeed required to be very stable, but also light enough to be easily moved by the staff. The Cake Stands, designed to resemble a cage, were required to hang gracefully but safely to avoid swinging.




The Tea Trees were sand cast and finished with a delicate texture and patina. The leaves have highlighted edges giving the elements an extra organic finish, movement and sensibility. The brass cake stands were also sand cast with a beautiful and unique texture before being nickel-plated. The mandarins hanging from the branches were cast in glass. 




 The result are stunning sculptural elements that each represent a piece of art in their own right, to the great satisfaction of the Mandarin Oriental and GA Design. GA Design went on to win the prestigious award of best Interior Design for CafĂ© Bar or All-Day Dining at the 2014 European Hotel Design Awards for the project.
