Design and History
The uniqueness of these mirrors lies in their ingenious tilting system:
2-in-1 functionality: The upper part, equipped with a spring, tilts inward, highlighting a hook that transforms the mirror into a practical coat hook.
Modularity: The individual modules can be used side by side to create a customized wall composition, or separately to furnish different areas of the home.
Recognition: The 'Gronda' coat rack project allowed Luciano Bertoncini to win second prize at the Abet Print competition in 1971, establishing him as one of the protagonists of Italian design.
Conditions of the Lot
The lot consists of three original 'Gronda' mirrors/coat racks and is in excellent condition for use.
Integrity: The mirrors are intact and show only very slight signs of use, which highlight their authenticity and history.
