DESIGN CONTEXT

This vintage Kartell mirror was designed by Anna Castelli Ferrieri in the 1960s, during a defining moment for Italian modern design when plastic became a structural material rather than a secondary choice.

The square format is softened by gently rounded corners, creating a controlled geometry that feels both precise and approachable. The moulded plastic frame with warm beige nude color has a quiet presence — designed to integrate into the space rather than dominate it.

More than a reflective surface, this vintage Kartell mirror represents Kartell’s early experimentation with industrial production and domestic objects. The use of moulded plastic allowed for clarity of form, consistency, and accessibility, fully aligned with Castelli Ferrieri’s vision.

The engraved marks on the back confirm both designer and manufacturer, anchoring the piece within Kartell’s most iconic production years.

Clean, measured, and quietly architectural, this mirror works as both a functional object and a compositional element — bringing light, proportion and rhythm to the wall.
