Description from the seller

4 Mirrors / Coat Racks "Gronda" by Luciano Bertoncini for Elco (1970s)

The lot of 4 mirrors/coat racks "Gronda" by Luciano Bertoncini for Elco is an iconic model dating back to the 1970s, which made a mark in Italian design history. These modules represent an example of unique and functional design, capable of furnishing spaces with modernity and originality.

Design and History: A Prize-Winning Piece
Recognition: The project of the "Gronda" coat rack won the second prize at the Abet Print competition in 1971, establishing Luciano Bertoncini as a protagonist of Italian design.

Functionality: The peculiarity of these mirrors lies in their ingenious tilting system: the top part, equipped with a spring, tilts inward, highlighting a hook that transforms the mirror into a practical coat rack.

Composability: The individual modules can be used side by side to create a customized wall arrangement, or separately to furnish different spaces.

Lot Conditions
The lot consists of 4 original, intact and well-preserved mirrors/coat racks "Gronda":
Mirrors: The mirrors show only very slight signs of use, underscoring their authenticity and lived-in feel.
Frame: The black plastic frame is intact and free from structural defects.
