DESIGN CONTEXT

This sculptural italian mid century mirror reflects the elegant balance between craftsmanship and architectural form that defined Italian decorative design during the 1960s. The composition is built around two elongated wooden elements connected through refined brass details, creating a vertical structure that functions both as a mirror and as a decorative wall sculpture.

The proportions are particularly distinctive. The slim silhouette and the contrast between warm wood, reflective surfaces and metallic accents evoke the visual language of Italian mid century interiors, where mirrors often became structural elements within the space rather than simple functional objects. The result is highly graphic yet restrained, capable of adding rhythm and depth without overwhelming the environment.

Produced in Italy by Still Glass Donati and still retaining its original label, this italian mid century mirror stands out for its unusual configuration and strong decorative identity. One mirrored panel remains original and shows natural traces of age, while the second mirror was professionally replaced during the life of the piece.

The piece works especially well in entryways, bedrooms or alongside other sculptural wall elements and Italian modernist furniture. Explore also our curated selection of vintage mirrors and Italian decorative objects on Natavintage.
