Product description
Rare original “Lipstick” floor mirror designed by Roger Lecal and produced by Chabrières & Cie in France.
This sculptural mirror is one of the icons of 1970s French Space-Age design, admired for its futuristic silhouette reminiscent of a lipstick bullet.
Designer: Roger Lecal (France, b. 1938)
Manufacturer: Chabrières & Cie, France
Model: “Lipstick” Mirror
Date of production: 7 May 1976 (inscribed inside the shell)
Signature: Engraved on base “Chabrières & Cie – Made in France”
Dimensions: Height 170 cm
Materials: White-lacquered molded fiberglass / plastic body with inset oval glass mirror
Country of origin: France
This authentic example comes from the late production run (circa 1970-1978) and retains its original finish and mirror glass.
⚙️ Condition
Good vintage condition with light, age-related wear.
Small chips and minor paint losses in the white lacquer.
Slight dulling of the mirror where it was glued to the structure (typical for this model).
The mirror glass currently rests loosely inside the body — the original wooden slats once glued to the back of the glass have detached over time. This has no structural or stability impact; the mirror sits securely in place within the opening and displays perfectly.
Stable and ready for use as is.
(See photos for detailed condition.)
💡 Design significance
The Lipstick mirror epitomizes the Space-Age aesthetic of the 1970s: smooth, organic curves, glossy plastic, and sculptural presence. Designed by Roger Lecal and produced by Chabrières & Cie, it remains a collector’s favorite and a timeless statement piece in modern interiors.
🧾 Provenance
