A striking example of post-mid-century Italian design, this contour mirror attributed to Fontana Arte showcases mastery of glass and form. Designed and produced in Italy during the 1970s, the mirror features an elegant oval silhouette framed by richly coloured blue glass — graphic, sculptural and unmistakable Italian. This piece remains firmly within the realm of functional design, yet carries a strong architectural presence, making it equally suited to contemporary and period interiors.
The mirror is in very good vintage condition, with only minor marks to the mirror plate and glass consistent with age. It can be hung horizontally of vertically and retains a “Cristall” foil label as pictured, which indicates a retail or distributor in Italian-made glass pieces.
Fontana Arte was founded in Milan in 1932 by Luigi Fontana and Gio Ponti. It became one of Italy’s most influential design houses, celebrated for pushing the boundaries of decorative and architectural glass. The Contour Mirror designed by Max Ingrand, reflects this legacy, balancing bold visual impact with refined restraint.
