DESIGN CONTEXT

These space age wall mirrors reflect the shift that took place in French domestic design during the late 1960s and 1970s, when plastic became a defining material of modern interiors. No longer considered secondary, molded plastic allowed manufacturers to create bold everyday objects with strong visual identity, combining function with graphic presence.

The thick circular frames and saturated blue and orange colors transform these mirrors into decorative wall elements rather than simple reflective surfaces. Their clean geometry works particularly well in entryways, bathrooms, dressing areas, or gallery walls where color and proportion shape the atmosphere of the room.

This pair fits naturally within the broader language of space age interiors, where mirrors, lighting, and plastic accessories created rhythm and contrast across the home. They work especially well alongside pieces from the space age collection helping build a coherent modernist wall composition with authentic vintage character.
