The Lipstick floor mirror, designed by Rodolfo Bonetto for the Italian market in the 1970s, is a striking example of the era’s avant-garde pop-art design. The Unghia model is distinguished by its slender, cylindrical frame crafted from plastic in a saturated, matte orange. The elongated glass surface is set at an angle within the cylinder, creating a dynamic, asymmetrical silhouette reminiscent of an open lipstick tube. The design focuses on pure geometry and bold color, with no decorative embellishments—every detail serves the clarity of form and vibrant hue. The construction appears seamless and precise, with no visible fasteners or joints, emphasizing the mirror’s modern character. The condition is very good: the frame has been refreshed and shows only minor scratches and scuffs typical of its age and careful use.This object speaks in the voice of 1970s Italian modernism: bold, energetic, and lighthearted. Its orange frame evokes the spirit of pop art, where color became a declaration and form a playful quotation from everyday life. The mirror invites playful interaction, its shape encouraging experimentation with space and perspective. More than a functional accessory, it stands as a visual manifesto of an era when design was meant to amuse and provoke while remaining practical.The Lipstick mirror can become a focal point in a minimalist or eclectic living room. It pairs especially well with mid-century modern furnishings, particularly surrounded by white, black, or grey tones that emphasize the vivid orange. It may also be combined with other pieces of 1970s Italian design—organic-shaped lamps, low sofas, or Memphis-style graphics. In collector’s interiors or contemporary entryways, the mirror adds expressive flair and a subtle sense of
