This elliptical wall mirror by Planilux, produced in Germany in 1973, stands as a clear example of mid-century modern design, highlighting the purity of line and material. The main reflective surface consists of high-quality crystal glass without color tint, offering a neutral, cool-toned reflection. The slim, continuous frame is made from steel, evenly plated with glossy nickel—its finish is distinctly mirror-like and smooth, enhancing the modern, industrial feel of the piece. Connection points in the frame are visible and precisely engineered, revealing craftsmanship and technical proficiency. There are no additional decorative patterns or color accents; the entire design is guided by structural discipline and material integrity. The mirror is preserved in excellent condition, with no visible scratches, chips, or loss of finish, underscoring its superb state of preservation. The mirror echoes the voice of early-1970s Europe, a period when reductive clarity and technical finesse were hallmarks of the modern home. Its elliptical form is reminiscent of postwar architectural contours—an honest material presence, and a clarity of shape that reflects an era valuing both function and enduring quality. The crystal glass reflects light with clinical purity, while the cool sheen of nickel tells of an era’s quest for new forms liberated from unnecessary adornment. This mirror could be integrated into minimalist, modernist interiors or paired with vintage pieces for an eclectic effect. It pairs well with simple modular sofas, steel floor lamps, or natural woods in neutral tones—the elliptical frame will play off a pale wall to impart added spatial depth. In a larger living room or hallway it could underscore architectural lines and sightlines, while in a bedroom it will serve as a subtle reflector of light. Combining it with materials of matte and soft textures, such as a wool rug or linen drapes, will emphasize the mirror’s cool metallic contrast and amplify its contemporary character
