Architectural and Framed Mirrors

Arkivio is perhaps best known for its iconic framed mirrors. From the thin-rimmed elegance of the Infinity range to the bold, industrial silhouettes of their deep-framed metal mirrors, each piece is manufactured to exacting standards. These mirrors are available in various shapes—including circular, pill-shaped, and arched—and a variety of high-end finishes like matte black, brushed brass, and polished stainless steel.

Backlit and LED Mirror Solutions

Bring a soft, ambient glow to your bathroom with Arkivio’s integrated lighting solutions. Their backlit mirrors are designed to provide perfect task lighting for grooming while creating a halo effect on the wall behind. Using energy-efficient LED technology and high-quality glass, these mirrors combine the best of modern electronics with timeless metal craftsmanship.

Designer Shelving and Metal Hardware

Consistency in design is what separates a good bathroom from a great one. Arkivio offers a range of minimalist shelving and bathroom hardware that complements their mirror collections perfectly. Crafted from the same high-grade metals, these accessories allow you to carry an architectural theme throughout your space, ensuring every detail is considered.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Arkivio mirrors suitable for use directly above a basin or in a wet zone?

Yes. Arkivio mirrors are built specifically for bathroom use, with moisture-resistant backing and sealed edges that handle the humidity of a working basin or shower zone. The LED-backlit models carry IP44 ratings on the lit portion, meaning they're protected against splashes from any direction. Standard placement above a vanity is well within their specification. For installation directly above a bath or inside an enclosed shower, share the position with our team and we'll confirm the right model and any electrician requirements for the mounting location.

What lighting temperature do the LED-backlit mirrors use?

Arkivio's backlit and LED-illuminated mirrors are typically supplied in 3000K warm white, which is flattering for skin tones and suits residential bathrooms beautifully. Some models offer adjustable colour temperature, switching between warm (3000K), neutral (4000K), and cool (6000K) for task-specific lighting, which is useful for shaving or makeup application. The hidden push-button or touch sensor switch positions are confirmed before ordering. All Arkivio LEDs use low-voltage drivers and are sized for long-life domestic use.

What warranty applies to Arkivio mirrors and hardware?

As a locally manufactured South African brand, Arkivio carries a direct manufacturer warranty against defects in the frame, finish, and (where fitted) the LED electronics. Coverage is typically 2 years on the electronics and longer on the metalwork itself. Because Arkivio is made in South Africa rather than imported, any warranty claim moves quickly without the offshore shipping delays that can frustrate replacement on imported brands. Bella Bathrooms & Tiles manages claims directly with the manufacturer on your behalf.

Can Arkivio match an existing tap or hardware finish?

The Arkivio range covers matte black, brushed brass, polished brass, brushed stainless steel, matte stainless, and copper finishes, which align with the major premium tap finish families on the South African market. For an exact match (especially to a non-standard PVD finish), it's worth bringing a sample of your tap to our Kramerville showroom so we can compare it directly against the Arkivio swatches. Bella Bathrooms & Tiles consultants do this matching daily and will steer you to the closest available finish if a perfect match isn't on the chart.

How safely do you ship mirrors to other South African cities?

Mirrors are delicate, high-value items, and we use a specialist insured transport service with custom crating for any Arkivio mirror going outside the Johannesburg metro. Damage on arrival is rare with this method, but where it does happen, the consignment is covered and replacement is straightforward. Confirm your delivery suburb when ordering and our team will quote the freight inclusive of insurance. For Johannesburg-based projects, our own vehicles deliver mirrors directly to site with our showroom team handling the handover.
