The Unghia floor mirror, designed by Rodolfo Bonetto, is a defining piece of 1970s Italian design. Its distinctive silhouette, resembling a sculpted nail or 'unghia' in Italian, makes it a highly sought-after collector's item that merges functional reflection with sculptural form.
Constructed from moulded plastic, the cylindrical base rises to an angled, elongated oval mirror face. The piece is finished in a versatile beige tone, characteristic of the era's shift towards organic, neutral palettes in modern interiors. The seamless integration of the mirror within the plastic housing demonstrates the innovative manufacturing techniques of the period.
The mirror remains in good condition, preserving its structural integrity and original character. The reflective surface is clear, and the plastic body retains its smooth finish, reflecting careful use over the decades.
This floor mirror serves as a striking focal point in a bedroom, dressing area, or hallway. Its slender profile allows it to fit elegantly into minimalist or mid-century modern spaces, adding both depth and a touch of vintage Italian sophistication.
