Combining a circular tilting mirror with an integrated oval tray, it demonstrates how Italian design transformed functional accessories into sculptural everyday pieces through the intelligent use of form, colour and thermoplastic materials.

Rather than acting simply as a support, the generous base functions as a practical organiser for jewellery, cosmetics, glasses and personal accessories, making the mirror equally suited to bathrooms, bedrooms and dressing areas. The glossy red finish enhances the purity of its geometric forms while giving the object a vibrant visual presence that remains unmistakably contemporary.

Produced by Gedy during one of the company's most creative decades, the mirror reflects the broader evolution of Italian plastic design, where practicality and aesthetics became inseparable. Olaf von Bohr's restrained approach allows every element to serve a precise function while maintaining a remarkably balanced and timeless composition.

The mirror is presented in very good vintage condition. The plastic structure is clean and well preserved. Light superficial scratches are visible across the piece, including scattered marks on the mirrored surface, fully consistent with age and careful use.

An authentic and highly collectible example of Italian Pop Design, this mirror continues to function both as a practical vanity accessory and as a refined decorative object for contemporary interiors. This piece has an attribution mark,
