The composition is composed of nine independent vertical modules: seven mirrored panels and two luminous elements with rectangular white plastic diffusers, illuminated across their entire front surface. Installed in sequence, the modules create a visually striking architectural effect, alternating light and reflection in a rigorous, graphic rhythm. The structure of each element is framed in black plastic, emphasizing the linearity and modularity typical of Italian design research of the period. A distinctive functional detail characterizes the mirrored panels: the concealed coat hook integrated into the surface, a clever solution that blends minimalist aesthetics with everyday functionality. “Gronda” fully represents the experimental yet rational spirit of post-war Italian design, where modularity, seriality and industrial materials redefine the concept of home furnishings, transforming the wall into an active architectural element. Designer: Luciano Bertoncini Manufacturer: Elco Model: Gronda Period: 1970s Production: Italy Dimensions of each module: Height 200 cm Width 19 cm Depth 6 cm Overall width varies depending on installation configuration.
