Ettore Sottsass (1917-2007)
A rare, early mirror by Memphis Milano founder Ettore Sottsass, crafted in a small limited series by Sant’Ambrogio e De Berti circa 1958. A floating brass frame ornamented with rectangular fingers hugs the top and bottom of a long, rectangular mirror in two-tone clear and smoked blue-gray glass. The mirror is cinched by a row of protruding spikes two thirds of the way down its length, on which a small shelf can be placed to create a console.
