Gaetano Missaglia adjustable vanity mirror, Italy, 1970s – Brushed Aluminum, Clear & Fumé Glass
A striking example of Italian mid-century modern design, this adjustable vanity mirror by Gaetano Missaglia (Italy, 1970s) showcases the clean geometry, technical precision, and sculptural presence that defined the designer’s work.
Crafted in brushed aluminum, the mirror features a beautifully machined semi-circular base with stepped detailing, supporting a floating circular mirror that pivots smoothly on two chromed spherical joints. One side of the mirror is clear, while the reverse offers a deep, elegant fumé (smoked) finish—perfect for varying lighting and aesthetic needs.
The piece functions equally well as a vanity mirror, a desk or sideboard accent, or as a standalone sculptural object. Its refined industrial look pairs seamlessly with interiors in the styles of Gio Ponti, Artemide, Olivetti, and Studio BBPR.
