DESIGN CONTEXT

This green mirror cabinet designed by Olaf von Bohr for Gedy is a strong example of Italian modernist design applied to everyday domestic function. Produced in Italy during the 1970s, it reflects the period’s interest in compact systems, clean geometry, and the intelligent use of molded plastic as both structure and visual language.

The vertical format combines three functions in one object: mirror, closed storage, and open shelf. The mirrored front keeps the volume visually light, while the glossy green plastic body gives the piece a bold architectural identity. Inside, the cabinet reveals a rational internal layout with multiple compartments designed for practical daily use, making it ideal for bathrooms, entryways, or compact interiors where every element must be functional.

Olaf von Bohr is known for creating objects that balance clarity and utility, and this green mirror cabinet follows the same logic: no excess decoration, only proportion, color, and use. Gedy, one of the key Italian manufacturers of modern bathroom accessories, translated this approach into accessible domestic design.

For collectors of structured plastic interiors, it pairs naturally with pieces like modular wall storage, Kartell bathroom accessories, or other Italian mirror systems from the same era. It also works well alongside our selection of vintage mirrors and space age storage solutions, where function becomes part of the visual composition.
