Background et heritage

Designed in 1925 for his Via Randaccio residence in Milan, Gio Ponti's first architectural project, the Randaccio mirror adorned the third-floor master bedroom, alongside other furniture created by the designer. This personal project reflects Ponti's approach to harmonizing functionality and aesthetics, a philosophy he would develop throughout his career. The stylized crown, discreet yet ironic, testifies to his taste for finely integrated decorative details.

Gio Ponti (1891-1979), architect, designer and editor-in-chief of Domus magazine, was a major figure in 20th-century design. His creations, from Superleggera chairs for Cassina to buildings such as the Pirelli Tower, redefined Italian modernism. The Randaccio mirror, with its references to classicism and timeless modernity, embodies this vision, still influencing design enthusiasts today with its ability to transcend the ages.
