Oolaa Round Smart Mirror with LED Ring Light

Most bathroom mirrors are rectangles because most bathroom mirrors are boring. The Oolaa Round Smart Mirror takes the other shape — a perfect circle of glass with an LED light running along its entire circumference — and installs it where it belongs: the luxury residential bathroom. The result is a mirror that looks like a design piece and behaves like a smart home device.

Watch it in the video above: the ring light traces the full edge of the glass, giving the mirror a presence that a standard cabinet mirror simply doesn't have.

A ring of light, all the way around

The LED light follows the circumference of the round mirror, so illumination arrives evenly, from every side at once. Anyone who has done makeup or shaved under a single overhead bulb knows the alternative: shadows exactly where you need to see. A full ring of light is the photographer's trick, and in a bathroom mirror it means your face is lit the way you will actually be seen — evenly, honestly, and without a dark side.

The round form does quieter work, too. In a room of straight lines — tiles, counters, cabinets — a circle softens everything around it. It is why designers keep specifying round mirrors for high-end bathrooms; the Oolaa version simply makes that circle smart.

Even light changes the routine in practical ways. Makeup goes on the way it will actually look under daylight and office light, not the way a bathroom bulb flatters it. A close shave stops being a negotiation with a shadow. And because the light runs the full circle at the glass itself, it works at the distance a bathroom mirror is actually used — arm's length, face close, no squinting toward a ceiling fixture.

Made for the luxury bathroom

A bathroom mirror has to survive its environment: steam after every shower, splashes at the sink, humidity that never fully leaves. Oolaa's bathroom mirrors are built for it, with IP65 protection, a built-in defogger that keeps the glass clear when the shower has done its worst, and motion detection that brings the mirror to life as you step up to it. Luxury that fogs up is not luxury; this one doesn't.

The smart home experience, in the mirror

Behind the glass sits the Oolaa smart home experience: the information of the day — time, weather, your schedule — presented on the mirror, with voice control through Google Assistant and Cantonese supported. The mirror connects with the wider smart home, supporting Matter, Zigbee, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and KNX, so the most beautiful object in the bathroom is also one of the most capable.

For homeowners, it is a hi-tech smart home experience that starts at the sink. For developers and designers, it is a signature detail — one round, lit, unmistakable mirror that tells buyers exactly what kind of home they are standing in.

For developers and designers, the round mirror solves a familiar problem: the bathroom is photographed, toured, and remembered, yet its mirror is usually the least considered object in it. A round, ring-lit smart mirror gives the room a signature — one object that carries the design story and the technology story at the same time, and that buyers can understand in the three seconds they spend looking at it.

One more thing the circle does: it photographs beautifully, and in the age of listings and social posts, a bathroom that photographs beautifully is a bathroom that sells the home around it. Residents may buy the smart features, but it is the ring of light they will show their friends.
