The Story
Designed by Italian architect and sculptor Angelo Mangiarotti for Acerbis during the 1960s, this tilting table mirror is an exercise in structural weight and geometric restraint. The piece is constructed from a thick crescent-shaped base of natural dark slate, which anchors a circular frame in brushed nickel-plated metal. The double-sided mirror plate rotates smoothly along its central axis between two vertical pillars. Mangiarotti’s work often emphasizes the contrast between raw, industrial materials and geometric purity. This object avoids ornamental details, relying instead on the density of the stone and the precision of the metal joints to define its presence.
Condition
The mirror is in excellent and original vintage condition. The dark slate base has been thoroughly preserved, maintaining its sharp edges and natural texture without cracks or chipped corners. The tilting mechanism is fully functional and retains its correct mechanical tension. The double-sided glass plates are clear, showing only minor surface wear consistent with age and previous use. All components are original.
